Plasma membrane it's located in the exterior of all cells.

The plasma membrane has several functions: first, it's the barrier between the interior of the cell and the rest of the environment; secondly, it protects the cell and gives it support; it also regulates what substances pass to the interior of the cell.

If the cell was a ballon, the plasma membrane would be the latex and all the air inside would be the cytoplasm.
