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.
Phospholipid bilayer (types of phospholipids are Sphingomyelin, Sphingoethanolamin, Sphingoserin, Phosphatidylcholine, Sphingocholine). In between the phospholipds you also find cholesterol and intermembrane protein.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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

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.
