  • The Golgi apparatus consists of sac-like structures called cisternae which are flat, disc-shaped. The cisternae are of 0.5-1.0 m.
  • Cisternae are concentrically arranged near the nucleus.
  • The convex face of cisternae is called cis which is also known as the forming face.
  • The concave face of cisternae is called trans which is also known as the maturing face.
  • The two faces of the Golgi apparatus are different from each other, but they are interconnected.
