The plasma membrane is the outer most wall surrounding cells in the body. it is how the cells are able to keep its boundaries of inside and outside the cell.

The phospholipids are what hold the membrane together. They are like the parts of the floating sea per se that makes up both sides of the membrane. If you look at the pictures at any of the below links, it will make sense on how it all ties together.
