- - - - contain a vinyl-ether and an ester bond at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively, in the glycerol backbone.
    - - They constitute 10 mol% of the total mass of phospholipids in humans, mainly as membrane structure components.
  - - - characteristics
        
        generally the most abundant phospholipid class in a membrane. They also constitute the major phospholipid class contained in lipoproteins, biliary lipid aggregates and lung surfactant.
      - function
        
        they regulate the physical properties of membrane
    - - Characteristics
        
        Although it is a natural phospholipid, it can be supplemented for medical treatments.
      - Functions
        
        This phospholipid acts as a pro-coagulant surface when there is an injury. It helps the platelets to close the injury.
    - - Functions
        
        They are a key building block of membrane layers.
      - Characteristics
        
        It's the second most abundant phospholipid in animals and plants.
- - - - characteristic
        
        are the only phosphorus-containing sphingolipids, are most abundant in nervous tissue, but they also occur in the blood.
      - function
        
        Sphingomyelin has significant structural and functional roles in the cell. It is a plasma membrane component and participates in many signaling pathways.
    - - function
        
        they play a critical role in neuronal and brain development. They are functionally involved in neurotransmission
      - characteristic
        
        molecule composed of a glycosphingolipid (ceramide and oligosaccharide) with one or more sialic acids
    - - function
        
        important components in animal muscle and nerve cell membranes.
      - characteristic
        
        They consist of a ceramide with a single sugar residue at the 1-hydroxyl moiety.
    - - structuring and maintaining the water permeability barrier function of the skin.
    - - consist of a long-chain or sphingoid base linked to a fatty acid via an amide bond.
- - - - receptor ligands
    - - -control metabolism,
        -control inflammation
        -control immune functions
        -control salt and water balance
        -control development of sexual characteristics
        -control the ability to withstand illness and injury.
    - - Glucocorticosteroids
      - Anabolic Androgenic Steroids
      - Minerocorticosteroids
  - - - metabolism
    - - -water soluble
- - - - Phosphatidyl- serines
      - Phosphatidyl-cholines
      - Phosphatidyl-ethanolamines
      - Other phospholipids
