Endoplasmic Reticulum: Structure & Functions

Video Summary:
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of interconnected tubules and flat vesicles. It's divided into two types. Rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is a network of flat vesicles. It contains ribosomes that synthesize proteins to be exported and membrane proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules. It's smooth because it has no ribosomes. It's involved in the synthesis of lipids, detoxification and as sarcoplasmic reticulum, it stores Ca2+.

Is the smooth ER directly attached to the nuclear membrane? My understanding was, it is attached to the rough ER, only the rough ER is attached to the nuclear membrane.
