Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The endoplasmic reticulum is the cell organelle that forms the interconnected network of the tube-like structures. Its membrane continues with the outer nuclear membrane. The surface of the endoplasmic reticulum remains smooth and is called as smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). If the ribosomes are present on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum, that will make the surface rough. That is called as rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).
