Cytolemma

The cytolemma is a thin membrane that surrounds cells and separates their contents from the environment. It is one of the main components of the cell membrane and performs many functions related to the transport of substances, regulation of metabolism and protection of the cell from external influences.

The cytolemma consists of two layers: internal and external. The inner layer is called the endoplasmic membrane (EPM) and is a system of channels and vesicles that ensure the transport of substances within the cell. The outer layer is called the plasma membrane and serves to protect the cell from damage and penetration of substances from the environment.

One of the main functions of the cytolemma is the regulation of metabolism between the cell and the environment. It ensures the transport of nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and lipids, as well as the removal of waste products such as carbon dioxide and ammonia. In addition, the cytolemma is involved in the regulation of the exchange of ions such as sodium, potassium and chlorine, which allows maintaining the required level of electrolytes in the cell.

In addition, the cytolemma plays an important role in protecting the cell from external damage. It contains special proteins and molecules that are involved in recognizing and removing foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses, as well as protecting against mechanical damage and ultraviolet radiation.

Thus, the cytolemma is an important component of the cell and performs many functions that ensure its vital activity.



Cytolemmas are one of the most important elements of the body. Their main purpose is to protect cell membranes from environmental influences and participate in cell metabolism along with the cell biological membrane and membrane. All this, however, does not quite correctly describe the role and significance of cell membranes, so I just want to look at them in more detail with you. I can agree that the definition of “one of the most important” might not sound so gentle, but does it really reflect the concept of the importance of cytolemmas? I think not! Cytolemams are important for every living thing, be it bacteria, fungi, plants, animals or even humans. Even though we don't notice them every day, they are an integral part of our body. They surround each cell, providing it with the resources it needs, and also protect it from various harmful factors. However, my opinion also ends here, I ask you to continue...
