The core of a sphingolipid is an amino alcohol called sphingosine. Complex sphingolipids located in the plasma membrane of animal cells (especially nerve cells) have a structural function and are believed to protect the cell surface from harmful environmental factors.
By adsorbing to the air-water interface of alveoli hydrophilic head groups in the water and the hydrophobic tails facing towards the air, the main lipid component of surfactant, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), reduces surface tension.ulmonary surfactant is a surface-active lipoprotein complex (phospholipoprotein) formed by type II alveolar cells.
