==Definition==
*''according to Hottinger (2006):''
'''GOLGI BODY''' -  (=Golgi apparatus); a cell organelle consisting of a stack of flattened vacuolar cavities (cisternae). In the foraminiferal cell, the Golgi body produces the high-magnesium calcite needles which, after [[exocytosis]], are used for bonding grains in the [[agglutinated]] shell or for the construction of [[porcelaneous]] walls.
