Functions:
In general Golgi complex is of vital importance
and serves many functions:

2.Formationofsecretoryvesiclesand
secretion:
The principal function of Golgi complex is
secretion. In several types of cells, synthetic
products from the rough endoplasmic reticulum
are transferred to Golgi region, from where they
are liberated from the cell through plasma
membrane by pinocytosis. Secretory function of
Golgi seems to be well founded experimentally.
3.Helpsinenzymeformation:
Bowen speaks of Golgi apparatus as a great
intracellular centre of enzyme formation.
Moricard has shown that Golgi body helps in the

ADVERTISEMENTS:
4.Productionofhormones:
Golgi body in endocrine cells helps in secretion
of hormones. Cowdry has suggested that any
harm to Golgi apparatus in thyroid gland cells
will result in decline in secretion of its hormone.
5.Storageofprotein:

6.Formationofacrosome:
It forms the acrosome of sperm during sperm
maturation as shown in Fig. 11-2. The cisternae
of Golgi complex are arranged in a cup-shaped
pattern, the lamellae stacked in parallel. From
the periphery of lamellae, small vesicles or
vacuoles are pinched off.

7.Formationofintracellularcrystals:
In the marine isopod, Limnaria ligmorum, which
is a burrowing form, there are present midglands
whose cells consist of crystals. These range up to
30 in length and 15(1 thick. It has been proved
that these crystals are formed by Golgi complex
and are known to contain protein and iron. They
are without enclosing membrane and usually
spheroidal in shape. They are concerned with the
secretory activity.
8.Milkproteindropletformation:
In lactating mammary gland of mice are
produced protein droplets which are related
with Golgi complex. These droplets usually open
on to cell surface by fusion of their enclosing
membrane with plasma membrane.

9.Formationofplantcellwall:
Golgi bodies of plant cells synthesize all
polysaccharides such as pectin, hemicellulose
and microfibrils of a-cellulose. These are
packaged in vesicles for secretion. For example,
pectin and other mucilaginous substances of the
plant cell wall are synthesized in the Golgi and
are packaged in vesicles for secretion.
10.Glycoproteinssecretion:
Glycoproteins are formed in the Golgi complex
by the attachment of carbohydrate to the protein
products of the endoplasmic reticulum.
