And you thought the mitochondria was bad....

If you are still contemplating whether to give your vote to the Golgi Body or to the Lysosome (which I don't know why you would be having troubles deciding), but if you are, you will want to read this!






The Lysosome has this terrible habit of deciding to not do it's job and leaves things partially undigested or completely undigested at all! (obviously not a very reliable organelle to be voting for) Like hello, do your job. All you have to do is eat stuff while the rest of us work, but that's beside the point.






So, when the lysosome decides to not work something called the Lysosomal Storage Disease (LSD) forms. This ultimately results in cellular dysfunction including the nervous system, connective tissue and others.






Wastes that are collected in the lysosomes of the cells will disrupt the cell functions. “When this disease manifests, it will result in developmental delay, movement disorders, seizures, dementia, deafness and blindness, among other signs,” said Kuala Lumpur Hospital's Dr. LH Ngu. He also said it takes longer for an adult to show signs of LSD but they are still not safe from the severity of the disorder. As the disease sometimes progresses slowly and outward signs are easily overlooked. “And because of all that, crucial treatment time is lost,” Dr. Lock explained.


LSD effects can begin even before birth and it can be so severe that young patients normally do not survive. Some succumb at a very early age. Patients have to endure lengthy hospital stays and varying treatment courses. Sadly, there is no known cure available for LSD and the patient eventually faces digression, losing the ability to walk and to talk. “The face of a LSD patient gets coarse eventually. They look older than they are supposed to, their eyes become cloudy and a small rash breaks out at the umbilical area. Some contract Pompe disease. “This is when their heart gets enlarged and they develop a floppy body structure,” Dr Ngu explained.






As you can tell, LSD is a very serious matter, that all begins with the lysosome being lazy and failing to do its job.






If I were, I wouldn’t want to vote for someone who is going to let us all down and end up killing all of us…

Look at them, so small and inconspicuous... really they are a threat to us all.






Yours Truly, The Golgi Body
