Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

The smooth endplasmic reticulum, also know as SER, is involved in various metabloic processes. It is 'smooth' because it does not contain ribosome like the rough ER. It is connected to the nuclear envelope and is known for its storage of calcium irons in muscle cells.


Wonderful picture of the Smooth ER.
