| GO:0071944 | cell periphery | The part of a cell encompassing the cell cortex, the plasma membrane, and any external encapsulating structures. |
| GO:0030312 | external encapsulating structure | A structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell. |
| GO:0030112 | glycocalyx | A viscous, carbohydrate rich layer at the outermost periphery of a cell. |
| GO:0042603 | capsule | A protective structure surrounding some fungi and bacteria, attached externally to the cell wall and composed primarily of polysaccharides.
