Endoplasmic Reticulum: consists of a network of membranous tubules and sacs called cisternae. There are 2 types of ER: smooth and rough. Smooth does not contain ribosomes where the rough form does.
Golgi Apparatus: a series of flattened membranous sacs, stacked like pita bread. Each stack is called a dictyosome. The functions are : synthesis, storing, sorting and shipping of materials. The dictysomes have 2 distinct faces: the cis face receives the material and the trans face ships materials. The cis face is close to the ER. The trans face gives rise to vesicles full of material and pinch off.
