Isolated compartments of watery fluids are the margin of life and death in advanced life forms.
Thin lipid membranes
- cells
- nerves
- tissues
- organs
- tendons
- muscles
- reservoirs
Quality lipids give
- hydration
- hormones
- thoughts
- mood
- skin
Three functions of lipids
- energy storage
- cellular membranes
- hormonal communications
1. Energy, simple
- sugar, short term
- lipids, long term
- obesity, not quality of life
2. Membranes, complex
- memory
- cell division
- protein control
- thought process
- immune response
- hormone interaction
- replication from DNA
- fast communications
- sensations
- hearing
- vision
3. Hormones, on / off
- slow communications
Membranes are the most diverse
- Major effects on health
- environment isolations
- fluid and solid phases
- spacial arangements
- motion control
- keeps the neighbours isolated
