Detailed explanation-1: -The smooth endoplasmic reticulum functions in many metabolic processes. It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids. Cells that secrete these products, such as cells of the testes, ovaries, and skin oil glands, have an excess of smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Detailed explanation-2: -Smooth ER is largely associated with lipid (fat) manufacture and metabolism and steroid production hormone production. It also has a detoxification function.
Detailed explanation-3: -Functions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum include synthesis of carbohydrates, lipids, and steroid hormones; detoxification of medications and poisons; and storage of calcium ions.
Detailed explanation-4: -Additionally, the smooth ER is involved in the metabolism of lipids via the production of steroid hormones (from cholesterol) and lipid-soluble compounds through its resident enzymes.
