Three-dimensional observation of the Golgi apparatus in the vestibular (Scarpa's) ganglion cell.
Ultrastructure of the Golgi apparatus and GERL was observed three-dimensionally from the functional view point of lysosome formation. GERL directly continues with rough endoplasmic reficulum. There are at least two systems for lysosome formation, i.e. dependent and not dependent systems on the Golgi stack respectively. GERL also continues with a trans Golgi saccule, indicating that GERL is a part of the Golgi apparatus.
