Description

Figure 209 from Chapter 6 (Golgi Apparatus) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Portions of two hepatic cells and the intervening bile canaliculus from rat liver. Two stacks of Golgi cisternae near the bile canaliculus contain vacuoles with multiple very low density lipoprotein particles at the secretory face (arrows). Image by Robert Bolender. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.
