Cell membranes consist of:

  • a bi-layer phospholipid (hydrophobic tails and hydrophyllic heads)
  • cholesterol
  • glycolipids (grow off phospholipids)
  • glycoproteins (grow off proteins)
  • intrinsic Proteins (passes through both layers)
  • extrinsic proteins (passes through only one layer)
  • a channel protein/ transport protein/carrier protein, allows big molecules (glucose) to pass through the cell membrane

How ethyl alcohol reacts in human body?

Ethyl alcohol is primarily an anesthetic, thus it's chemical reactions are of little importance. What it does is to dissolve within the cell membrains (of all the cells) but primarily those of the nervous system. This changes the permeability of the cell membrane. Which results in a non (or less) responsive cell.
