    The plasma membrane is a protective barrier that surrounds the interior of the cell. Also called the cell membrane, this structure is semi-porous and allows certain molecules in and out of the cell. It serves as a boundary by keeping the cell's contents inside and preventing them from spilling out.

  8. The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is a thin, semi-permeable barrier that surrounds and encloses the contents of a cell. It separates the interior of the cell from the external environment, protecting the cell and regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Cell Membrane Definition.
