Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is distributed throughout the cytoplasm and also exists in continuity with the cell membrane and nuclear membrane. There are two types of ER: (i) Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) (ii) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) (i) RER: The cytosolic membrane surface of ER is studded or coated with 80S ribosomes. read more
