What is a membrane?

Membrane is any delicate sheet that divides one region from another blocking or permitting (selectively or completely) the passage of substances. The skin, for instance, can be considered a membrane that divides the exterior from the interior of the body; cellophane, used in chemical laboratories to divide solutions, acts as a membrane too.
