Who discovered the golgi apparatus?

Question

Its for a science project

Answer 1

That was discovered by Camillo Golgi, who actually has a number of other things named after him as well.

Since many cells are completely transparent when viewed under a microscope, the only way biologists can pick out what they're looking for a lot of the time is by using chemical stains. Golgi came up with a number of good ones!

His first major success used metals such as silver. He called it the "black reaction", but it's known today as the Golgi stain. It completely stains a limited number of nervous tissue cells at random, which allowed tracing of paths of nerve cells in the brain for the first time.

He also found a sensory apparatus located in tendons which is now known at the Golgi receptor or Golgi organ. It lets you know when your muscles are being flexed.

Ultimately he ended up using some of his unique stains to identify the intracellular Goldi apparatus (that was in 1898).

Interestingly, he recieved the Nobel Prize for his work on the nervous system rather than any of the other stuff that he's found or has been named after him. Go figure.

Answer 2

The Golgi apparatus (GA) was discovered in 1898 by Italian microscopist Camillo Golgi. One way of describing the GA is as the “shipping department” of the cell, responsible for directing molecular traffic in the cell. It stores, wraps, labels, and prepares proteins and other molecules for transport from the cell to other cells that are damaged or malfunctioning.

Answer 3

The name comes from Italian anatomist Camillo Golgi, who identified it in 1898.

In cell biology, the Golgi apparatus (also called a Golgi body, Golgi complex, or dictyosome) is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells, including those of plants, animals, and fungi.

The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process proteins targeted to the plasma membrane, lysosomes or endosomes, and those that will be formed from the cell, and sort them within vesicles. Thus, it functions as a central delivery system for the cell. It is part of the endomembrane system.

Answer 4

Signore Golgi, an Italian.

If you check most textbooks in bio and anatomy, you will find that they are attempting to "internationalize the sci vocab" by taking out all these scientists'-peoples' names out of the books-records and replacing it with a more reasonable term. So check for the EPONYMS section of updated text to see the name changes going on this decade. These "people names" do not help students "learn" their science easily, but they do give us some idea about these "historical moments" of scientific discovery. There are no doubt a lot of "dead guys" names out there in science from the past several centuries, a sign of human craving for fame-egomania?

Answer 5

This name dedicated to Italian anatomist Camillo Golgi, who identified it in 1898.

Answer 6

well....lemme tell u dat everyehre i searched at net i cud only found it was reported by "Italian anatomist Camillo Golgi" rather than discovered by him which is a far better vocabulary..therefore i think u must check it out..

Answer 7

camillo..golgi

Answer 8

look at its name, dear...and...surprise: it's GOLGI!!!

Answer 9

w.g.golgi
