  2. Golgi apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_apparatus

    The Golgi apparatus (/ ˈɡɒldʒi /), also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. [ 1 ] Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination.

  3. Golgi tendon organ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_tendon_organ

    The Golgi tendon organ (GTO) (also called Golgi organ, tendon organ, neurotendinous organ or neurotendinous spindle) is a proprioceptor – a type of sensory receptor that senses changes in muscle tension. It lies at the interface between a muscle and its tendon known as the musculotendinous junction also known as the myotendinous junction. [1]

  4. Endoplasmic reticulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoplasmic_reticulum

    Dark small circles in the network are mitochondria. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a part of a transportation system of the eukaryotic cell, and has many other important functions such as protein folding. It is a type of organelle made up of two subunits – rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).

  5. Vacuole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuole

    Plant cell structure. Animal cell structure. A vacuole (/ ˈvækjuːoʊl /) is a membrane-bound organelle which is present in plant and fungal cells and some protist, animal, and bacterial cells. [1][2] Vacuoles are essentially enclosed compartments which are filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in ...

  6. Golgi's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi's_method

    Golgi's method is a silver staining technique that is used to visualize nervous tissue under light microscopy. The method was discovered by Camillo Golgi, an Italian physician and scientist, who published the first picture made with the technique in 1873. [1] It was initially named the black reaction (la reazione nera) by Golgi, but it became ...

  7. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life. Every cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane; many cells contain organelles, each with a specific function. The term comes from the Latin word cellula meaning 'small room'. Most cells are only visible under a microscope.

  8. Cisterna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisterna

    The number of cisterna in the Golgi stack is dependent on the organism and cell type. [3] The structure, composition, and function of each of the cisternae may be different inside the Golgi stack. These different variations of Golgi cisternae are categorized into 3 groups; cis Golgi network, medial, and trans Golgi network. [2]

  9. Golgi cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_cell

    Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] In neuroscience, Golgi cells are the most abundant inhibitory interneurons found within the granular layer of the cerebellum. [1] Golgi cells can be found in the granular layer at various layers. [2] The Golgi cell is essential for controlling the activity of the granular layer. [3]
