Golgi apparatus

The Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, it packages pro

Lysosome

A lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle that is found in all animal cells, and rarely in plant cells. There are normally hundreds of lysosomes in the cytosol, where they function as the cell's degrad

…Golgi network (TGN). The CGN is the first cisternal structure, and the TGN is the final, from which proteins are packaged into vesicles destined to lysosomes, secretory vesicles, or the cell surface. The TGN is usually positioned adjacent to the stack, but can also be separate from it. The TGN may act as an…
TEM views of various vesicular compartments. Lysosomes are denoted by "Ly". They are dyed dark due to their acidity; in the center of the top image, a Golgi Apparatus can be seen, distal from the cell membrane relative to the lysosome.
Cellular material is delivered to lysosomes in four different ways: (A) Macroautophagy, (B) Endosomal degradation, (C) Microautophagy and (D) Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA).
