YES. Some of the more important roles of phospholipids in the human body include:

  • Forming the outer membranes of cells.
  • They are an integral part of cell signalling (the process by which cells communicate with each other to maintain homeostasis).
  • They form insulation which protects the nerves and aids the conduction of nerve impulses.
