What amino alcohol is found in sphingomyelin?
The amino alcohol found in sphingomyelin is called sphingosine. It is a component of the sphingolipid family and plays a key role in the formation of cell membranes.
Does a Sphingomyelin contain glycerol?
Yes, sphingomyelin contains a fatty acid, sphingosine, and a phosphate group, but not glycerol. It is a type of sphingolipid found in cell membranes and plays a role in cell signaling and membrane structure.
What is a lipid containing sphingosine a fatty acid phosphoric acid and choline?
The molecule described is sphingomyelin, which is a type of sphingolipid. It is composed of sphingosine, a fatty acid, phosphoric acid, and choline. Sphingomyelin is an important component of cell membranes and is especially abundant in the nervous system.
What are the names of the two types of sphingosine-based lipids?
Sphingomyelin is a phospholipid found in cell surface membranes (plasma membranes). Glucosylcerebroside is a glycolipid found in the myelin sheath of nerve cells (neurones). Both contain sphingosine.
What are the four major phospholipids present in the plasma membrane of mammalian cells?
The four major phospholipids present in plasma membrane of mammalian cells are: 1. Phosphatidylcholine 2. Phosphatidylethanolamine 3. Phosphatidylserine 4. Sphingomyelin. For more details click on the link below.
What is the myelin sheath particularly rich in?

What cell membranes made out of?
Phospholipid bilayer (types of phospholipids are Sphingomyelin, Sphingoethanolamin, Sphingoserin, Phosphatidylcholine, Sphingocholine). In between the phospholipds you also find cholesterol and intermembrane protein.
What is the result of a 2 to 1 lecithin and sphingomyelin ratio?
The lecithin to sphingomyelin ratio of 2:1 or greater is characteristic of mature fetal lungs. Fetuses delivered prior to this gestational age are at increased risk of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
What is Sphingomyelin?
Sphingomyelin (SPH) is a type of sphingolipid found in animal cell membranes, especially in the membranous myelin sheath that surrounds some nerve cell axons. It usually consists of phosphorylcholine and ceramide. In humans SPH represents ~85% of all sphingolipids.

What are the constituents of sphingomyelin?
SPHINGOMYELIN CONSISTS OF EITHER A VERY LONG CHAIN (C24 - C34) POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS OR PHOSPHORYLCHOLINE AND CERAMIDE. p.s. batsmeyts sa be-esh-shoo!jke..tong nabiruk kong sagot...d lng xure.. p.s. manen. oo nga

What occurs in patients with Types A and B Niemann-Pick disease?
In patients with Types A and B NPD, there is a build up of sphingomyelin in cells of the brain, liver, spleen, kidney and lung.
