Animal Cell Surface Membranes

  • Chapter
Bacterial Adhesion

Abstract

The interior of all cells is separated from the external environment by a membrane called the plasma or surface membrane. In free-living cells the plasma membrane usually has the appearance of a structure that is homogeneous over the entire cell surface. In differentiated cells that are organized into tissues, discrete parts of the membrane may show special modifications that facilitate the performance of particular functions (Fig. 1). Common variations include: (1) tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes, frequently seen at areas of intercellular contact between tissue cells; (2) outward proliferation of the plasma membrane, to promote adsorption of nutrients by increasing the cell surface in contact with the external environment (e.g., “brush borders” of intestinal epithelial cells) or to serve as motile structures (e.g., cilia of tracheal cells); and (3) inward proliferation of the plasma membrane to provide a close link between the intracellular, energy-producing metabolism and the energy-requiring activities of the plasma membrane (e.g., kidney tubule cells).
