Golgi
Cell's shipping center
Golgi refers to the Golgi apparatus (also Golgi body or Golgi complex), a cellular structure that processes and packages proteins for transport.
Named after Italian physician Camillo Golgi, who discovered it in 1898.
The term appears almost exclusively in biology: The Golgi apparatus modifies proteins before they're secreted from the cell.
