As karyoplasm (from ancient Greek κάρυον karyon for "core" and πλάσμα plásma "structure"), also nuclear plasma or nucleoplasm or nucleoplasm , the content of the cell nucleus is referred to, which is enclosed by the nuclear envelope . It contains the chromatin , the thread-like form of decondensed chromosomes and the nucleoli .
The unstructured basic mass of the karyoplasm is called karyolymph (nuclear juice, interchromatin substance). This is pervaded by a protein framework, the core matrix , which brings it into shape.
