The cell membrane is hydrophilic outside and hydrophobic from inside thanks to the phospholipid. The membrane also contains protein gated channels which allow some molecules to pass through and ion channels. The transport in an out of cells is also controlled by osmotic pressure, the electric charge etc.
Membrane Membrane
Voltage-gated channels are proteins in the cell membrane which open when stimulated by a voltage (an electrical signal). The voltage causes the channel to open, thereby allowing the entry or exit of whatever substance the channel relates to. An example of this the the voltage-gated sodium channels on neurons. When an action potential (a voltage), passes over the cell, it open these channels and allows sodium to enter the cell.
the cell membrane. It is a protein mosaic this is hydrophobic on both sides and hydrophllic in the center.
The membrane surrounding the nucleus is simply called the nuclear membrane. It is a phospholipid bilayer. The nuclear membrane merges with the endoplasmic reticulum, and you can learn more by using the link below.
In the nervous system the system of membrane channels is called the neuroreceptors. Neurotransmitters use the neuroreceptors as binding sites.

Protein channels
aquaporin i think
its the cell membrane - not to be confused with the cell wall
Ion channels that are always open are called leak channels. They allow a continuous flow of ions across the cell membrane, helping to maintain the resting membrane potential of the cell.
Depends on what the pore does. If they are channels - they are called Channels. Voltage gated / ligand activated channels. If they are to communicate with neighbouring cells - they are called gap junctions.
Cisternae
Channels in the cell membrane serve as passageways for the selective transport of ions and molecules into and out of the cell. They help maintain the cell's internal environment by controlling the flow of substances across the membrane.
endoplasmic reticulum.
Passages that permit a cell membrane to be permeable as needed are called ion channels. These channels allow ions such as sodium, potassium, and calcium to flow in and out of the cell, regulating the cell's electrical and chemical properties.
Simply stated: ProteinsChannels within the structure of the cell membrane are composed of proteins. A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is called a transmembrane protein.
