The membrane of a cell is like your skin in the fact that both are outer layers that control what goes into and out of the center of the object. The cell membrane controls what moves in and out of a cell and your skin controls what moves in and out of your body (sort of, the differences get greater the more closely you look at the two, but that is the basic similarity). In a nutshell, they both are gate keepers that control an internal environment.

How does the cell wall function in human bodies?

Humans are animals, and animal cells lack a cell wall. Now, as for digesting cellulose, which "is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants" (Wikipedia); the human body lacks the enzyme necessary to break down cellulose. Therefore, since the human body neither has it nor can digest it, cell walls are quite useless (from a biological perspective).
