Description:
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). (a) The ER is a winding network of thin membranous sacs found in close association with the cell nucleus. The smooth and rough endoplasmic reticula are very different in appearance and function (source: mouse tissue). (b) Rough ER is studded with numerous ribosomes, which are sites of protein synthesis (source: mouse tissue). EM × 110,000. (c) Smooth ER synthesizes phospholipids, steroid hormones, regulates the concentration of cellular Ca++, metabolizes some carbohydrates, and breaks down certain toxins(source: mouse tissue). EM×110,510. (Micrographs provided by the Regents of University of Michigan Medical School ©2012). English labels. From OpenStax book 'Anatomy and Physiology', fig. 3.14.
