Anatomy*of*the*cell*
Cells!are!organised!into!3!main!regions:!
• Plasma!membrane!
• Nucleus!
• Cytoplasm!
!
The!Nucleus7!Control!center!of!the!cell!contains!genetic!material!(DNA)!
There!are!3!sections!of!the!nucleus:!
• Nuclear!membrane!
− Barrier!of!the!nucleus!
− Consists!of!a!double!phospholipid!membrane!
− Contains!nuclear!pores!that!allow!for!exchange!of!material!with!the!
rest!of!the!cell!
• Nucleolus!!
− Nucleus!contains!one!or!more!nucleoli!
