  "definition": "A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane ( CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced ( ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced ( ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH).
