Cell membrane
The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, is a cellular organ that separates the inside of cells from the outside environment, called the extracellular space. The cell membrane acts as a barrier to control the transport of materials and information between the cytoplasm and the external environment.
Membranes form the boundaries of cells and cellular organs. Thus, it is allowed to divide DNA, RNA, proteins, and other molecules or ions. Without membranes, life as we know it would not be possible.
Although cell membranes differ depending on the type of cells, their basic structure is similar. All form a barrier between the compartments that contain water and are specific in terms of the compounds they let in. If a cell is to become a neuron or kidney cell, the basic structure of the membranes is similar, while the composition of the lipids and proteins that make up the biological membranes will differ depending on the type of cell.
This variation in composition gives different cell types their typical structure and shape. It allows them to communicate with other cells and carry ions, proteins, and other compounds through the membrane.

The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body and the only visceral organ that has the ability to regenerate completely, to its previous size and capacity, without losing its functions during the growth process.
The liver is responsible for over 500 essential functions, the main ones being in the body’s metabolic processes.
