    Study Notes

    Nucleolus

    • High area of transcription activity
    • Main site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) production

    Nuclear Envelope

    • Composed of two membranes: outer and inner
    • Space between membranes is the perinuclear space

    Nuclear Pore Complex

    • Located within the nuclear envelope membranes
    • Facilitates the passage of messenger RNA (mRNA) and proteins

    Nuclear Lamina

    • Network of protein filaments (intermediate filaments)
    • Provides structural support and organization to the nucleus
