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
