Phospholipids are a type of lipid. They have a unique structure with a hydrophilic (water - loving) head and hydrophobic (water - fearing) tails. In the body, they form a bilayer structure which is the basic framework of cell membranes. This bilayer allows for the separation of the internal and external environments of the cell while also controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
