The plasma membrane is also known as the cell membrane and serves as the outermost boundary of the cell. The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It is composed of a lipid bilayer and various proteins that help to maintain the structural integrity of the membrane and facilitate the transport of substances across it. 

The cytoplasm is the gel-like substance inside the cell that contains all the cell's organelles and structures. 

The nuclear membrane is a double-membrane structure that surrounds the nucleus and separates it from the cytoplasm. 

The cytosol is the liquid portion of the cytoplasm, excluding the organelles.
