cell membrane
Cell membranes provide adjustable barriers between the cell and the extracellular environment (ESF) or adjacent cells in eukaryotes. The membranes of cellular organelles provide functional compartmentalization from the cytosol. Thus, the cell itself is surrounded by the plasma membrane, and specific functional membranes form intracellular organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus) or isolate the contents of cellular organelles (endosomes, mitochondria) from the cytoplasm. art - cell membrane translucent :

Cell membranes are variably constituted of carbohydrates (adhesion and address loci), phospholipid bilayers (hydrophobic barriers), and proteins, which control permeability and cellular signalling. Peripheral membrane proteins are confined to the surfaces of membranes while integral membrane proteins are embedded in the membrane and may pass through the lipid bilayer one or more times.
Specialized membrane proteins function in cell adhesion (junctions) and as energy transducers, enzymes, ion channels, pumps, and receptors for neurotransmitters and hormones. Cell junctions utilize proteins that anchor cells together (desmosomes), that occlude passage of water between cells (tight junctions), and that permit direct communication between cells (gap junctions). diagram . desmosome : tem_desmosome : art - tight junction zonula adherens desmosome gap : diagram . tight junction : diagram . gap junction
