In a 'cell factory' smooth endoplasmic reticulum are the hallways.
Factories have hallways through which information from the office travels to the workers in all departments.
Similarly, the cell has smooth endoplasmic reticulum through which it is believed that messenger RNA travels from the nucleus to places where it is decoded.
