Protoplasm is the living part of a cell that is surrounded by a plasma membrane. In some definitions, it is a general term for the cytoplasm, but for others, it also includes the nucleoplasm.
Cytoplasm is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the cytoplasm includes all of the material inside the cell and outside of the nucleus.
Similar to the cytoplasm of a cell, the nucleus contains nucleoplasm, also known as karyoplasm, or karyolymph or nucleus sap. The nucleoplasm is a type of protoplasm, and is enveloped by the nuclear envelope. The nucleoplasm includes the chromosomes and nucleolus.
