Answer:

pores

Step-by-step explanation:

The nucleus consists of "nuclear pores" on its outer membrane. Each of these are surrounded by nuclear pore complex. It allows the pore to regulate the movement of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. It allows small particles to pass through such as ribosomal proteins. It prevents most large particles (except for histone) from passing through; thus, it is selective in nature. This function of the pores clearly shows that it allows communication to occur between the nucleus interior and the cytoplasm.
