ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lipid bilayer (or phospholipid bilayer) is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules. These membranes are flat sheets that form a continuous barrier around all cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -As previously mentioned, phospholipids play a critical role in insulating cell membranes. Two of the most important outer and inner leaflet phospholipids are phosphatidylcholine (PC) and Phosphatidylserine (PS).

Detailed explanation-4: -The outer lining of a eukaryotic cell is called the plasma membrane. This membrane serves to separate and protect a cell from its surrounding environment and is made mostly from a double layer of proteins and lipids, fat-like molecules.
