	The '''cell membrane''' (also called the '''plasma membrane''', '''cytoplasmic membrane''', or '''plasmalemma''', and abbreviated as '''PM''') is a thin membrane completely surrounding the [[cell]]. It comprises a [[lipid bilayer]]. It controls the entry and exit of materials relative to the cell, and also the interaction and signals between the cell and its environment.
