How are Golgi cisternae arranged near the Nucleus?

Solution
Cisternae:
The membrane-bound sacs seen in both the Golgi apparatus and the Endoplasmic Reticulum are referred to as cisternae.
Cisternae plays a crucial role in the packaging and modification of proteins that take place in the Golgi.
According to the vesicular transport concept, the Golgi cisternae are stable compartments that hold enzymes that add or remove sugars, add sulfate groups, and execute other changes to proteins.
Arrangement Of Golgi Cisternae Near Nucleus:
Camillo Golgi discovered the heavily stained reticular structures surrounding the nucleus.
These structures are made up of several flat disc-shaped sacs called cisternae that are stacked parallel to each other.
These structures were later called Golgi bodies.
The Golgi cisternae are organized concentrically towards the nucleus, with convex cis (forming) and concave trans (maturing) faces.
