Nucleus & other organelles of typical animal cell
Illustration showing the structural relationship between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER, pink) and nucleus (centre, spherical, with two nucleoli). The ER is a network of paired membranes throughout the cytoplasm. It is continuous with the nucleus (at lower right) and may connect with adjacent cells through junctions known as plasmodesmata, which relates to its importance in the transport of materials within and out of the cell. The ER may bear ribosomes (red spheres, sites of protein synthesis) on its surface (rough ER); other regions are devoid of ribosomes (smooth ER). Also shown are mitochondria (green, cigar-shaped), and the Golgi Body (yellow, bottom)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a typical animal cell, highlighting the nucleus and other essential organelles. The illustration beautifully depicts the relationship between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the nucleus, with the ER forming a network of paired membranes throughout the cytoplasm. The pink-colored ER is seen connecting with the spherical nucleus at its lower right side. The significance of this connection becomes evident as we learn that these junctions, known as plasmodesmata, allow for material transport within and out of the cell. This emphasizes how crucial both structures are in maintaining cellular function and homeostasis. The rough ER is distinguished by red spheres called ribosomes, which serve as sites for protein synthesis. In contrast, smooth regions of ER lack ribosomes. Additionally, this image highlights mitochondria (green), responsible for energy production within cells, and Golgi bodies (yellow), involved in processing proteins. Overall, this artwork provides an insightful glimpse into cell biology and cytology. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with microscopic worlds teeming with complexity and reveals just how interconnected each component is to ensure proper cellular functioning.
