dictyosome


Term: dictyosome
Origin: Anc Greek
???????/dictyon(=net)
+????/soma(body) > ????/sima(=corpse). Homer (9th cen) reffered to word "????" with the meaning of the corpse.
Coined
In 1910 by A Perroncito to denote the pieces into which the Golgi apparatus was divided during mitosis.
(Perroncito, A, Contribution a l?etude de la biologie cellulaire. Mitochondres, chromidies et appareil reticulaire interne dans les cellules spermatiques. Le phenomene de la dictyokinese. Arch Ital de Biol., Bd. 54 (1910).   

Definition:
1. organelle found in plant cells with a cup-shaped array of flattened membranous vesicles and functionally equivalent to the golgi apparatus of animal cells.
2.  net-like structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells. Several dictyosomes together consist the Golgi apparatus.




- Animal Eukaryotic Cell Components: Structure And Function
I posted a picture of the eukaryotic animal cell earlier, but it was simply a labeled diagram. Here we will go into each of the major parts of the cell, as well as each organelle's function, not to mention the overall structure of the cell. As the...

Proteins are synthesized in two types of location:The vast majority of proteins are synthesized by ribosomes in the cytosol. A small minority are synthesized by ribosomes within organelles (mitochondria or chloroplasts).Proteins synthesized in the cytosol...
