Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of the Golgi apparatus, which is composed of a series of flattened membrane-bound sacs called cisternae.

Recognize that the Golgi apparatus has a polarity with two distinct faces: the cis face and the trans face.

The cis face of the Golgi apparatus is the side that is oriented towards the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is also known as the cis-Golgi network.

The trans face of the Golgi is oriented towards the plasma membrane and is involved in sorting and packaging proteins for transport to their final destinations.

The medial-Golgi refers to the central region of the Golgi apparatus, which is located between the cis and trans faces and is involved in further processing of proteins.
