NUCLEAR ENVELOPE
Also known as the nuclear membrane, nucleolemma, or karyotheca.
is the double lipid bilayer membrane which surrounds the genetic material and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells.
Outer membrane
The outer nuclear membrane is also contiguous with the endoplasmic reticulum.
While it is physically linked, the
outer nuclear membrane contains various proteins found in far higher concentrations than the endoplasmic reticulum.
Inner Membrane
The inner nuclear membrane encloses the nucleoplasm, and is covered by the nuclear lamina,
It is connected to the outer membrane by nuclear pores which penetrate the membranes.
NUCLEAR PORES
The nuclear membrane is punctured by thousands of
nuclear pore complexes They link the inner and outer
nuclear membranes.
