HDL(High-Density Lipoprotein) is the smallest of the lipoprotein particles. They are the densest because they contain the highest proportion of protein.HDL cholesterol, or "good" cholesterol, appears to scour the walls of blood vessels, cleaning out excess cholesterol. It then carries that excess cholesterol -- which otherwise might have been used to make the "plaques" that cause coronary artery disease -- back to the liver for processing. HDL cholesterol level helps fight heart disease.
Different types of cholesterols transport lipids throughout the body?
There are two main types of cholesterol transporters in the body: LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein). LDL carries cholesterol from the liver to cells for use, but can also deposit excess cholesterol in the arteries, leading to plaque formation. HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries and transports it back to the liver for excretion from the body.
How in the body is Cholesterol transported?
Cholesterol is primarily transported in the body within lipoproteins, such as LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein).

Transport vehicles that function to remove excess cholesterol from body cells and transport it to the liver for elimination?
These transport vehicles are called high-density lipoproteins (HDL). HDL picks up excess cholesterol from cells and transports it to the liver where it can be broken down and eliminated from the body. HDL is often referred to as "good cholesterol" because of its role in removing cholesterol from the bloodstream.
What happens if there is an excess of cholesterol in the cell membrane?
