| 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) |
