The Endoplasmic reticuluman is an organelle composed of an extensive network of folded membranes which perform several tasks within a cell, such as ribosome transportation and storage.[1]
The organelle can be divided into two main sections:
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum - so called because of the ribosomes on its surface, this is where protein synthesis occurs
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum - does not have ribosomes, site of lipid metabolism and drug detoxification
