| Golgi body | <cell biology> Intracellular stack of membrane bounded vesicles in which glycosylation and packaging of secreted proteins takes place. Part of the GERL complex. Synonym: Golgi body, Golgi vesicles, dictyosome (in plants), parabasal body (in flagellate protozoa). (11 Jan 1998) |

| Golgi, Camillo | <person> B. Corteno, Italy, July 7th, 1844. Was Professor of Histology and Anatomy first in Pavia and then in Siena. D. 1926. Golgi's Bodies - intracellular elements or spaces arranged as a network which is known, as a whole, as the Golgi apparatus. Golgi's Cells - nerve cells of the cortex cerebelli. Lived: 1844-1926. (05 Dec 1998) |
| golgi cell | <pathology> A type of neuron that is found in the cerebral cortex and parts of the spinal cord. It is multipolar. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Golgi complex | <cell biology> Intracellular stack of membrane bounded vesicles in which glycosylation and packaging of secreted proteins takes place. Part of the GERL complex. Synonym: Golgi body, Golgi vesicles, dictyosome (in plants), parabasal body (in flagellate protozoa). (11 Jan 1998) |
| Golgi corpuscle | <cell biology> An encapsulated sensory nerve ending similar to a pacinian corpuscle but simpler in structure. Tactile corpuscles found in the subcutaneous tissue of the fingertips, resembling pacinian corpuscles, but possessing fewer lamellae and a relatively larger cone, and having the contained fibres more extensively branched. (12 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi epithelial cell | A glial cell found in the cerebellar cortex. See: Bergmann's fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi internal reticulum | <cell biology> Intracellular stack of membrane bounded vesicles in which glycosylation and packaging of secreted proteins takes place. Part of the GERL complex. Synonym: Golgi body, Golgi vesicles, dictyosome (in plants), parabasal body (in flagellate protozoa). (11 Jan 1998) |
| Golgi-Mazzoni corpuscle | <cell biology> An encapsulated sensory nerve ending similar to a pacinian corpuscle but simpler in structure. Tactile corpuscles found in the subcutaneous tissue of the fingertips, resembling pacinian corpuscles, but possessing fewer lamellae and a relatively larger cone, and having the contained fibres more extensively branched. (12 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi's cell | More specifically see: Golgi type I neuron, Golgi type II neuron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi's osmiobichromate fixative | <chemical> An osmic-bichromate mixture used to demonstrate nerve cells and their processes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi's stain | <technique> Any of several methods for staining nerve cells, nerve fibres, and neuroglia using fixation and hardening in formalin-osmic-dichromate combinations for various times, followed by impregnation in silver nitrate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi's theory | <physiology> The scientific theory that there are interconnections between the axons of Golgi cells and the axons of Deiter cells (both are types of neurons) which play important roles in neurotransmission. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Golgi tendon organ | <cell biology, physiology> A proprioceptive sensory nerve ending embedded among the fibres of a tendon, often near the musculotendinous junction; it is compressed and activated by any increase of the tendon's tension, caused either by active contraction or passive stretch of the corresponding muscle. Synonym: neurotendinous organ, neurotendinous spindle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi type II neuron | <physiology> Nerve cells with short axons which ramify in the gray matter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Golgi type I neuron | <physiology> Nerve cells whose long axons leave the gray matter of which they form a part. (05 Mar 2000) |
