Separate one cell from another
Permit cellular individuality
Selective permeabilities maintenance
differences in composition between the
inside and outside of the cell

Channels and pump for ions and
substrates
Exocytosis and endocytosis for exchanges
material with the extracellular environment
through gap junction
Plasma Membrane
Plays key role in cell-cell interaction and
in transmembrane signaling
Changes in membrane structure can
