Understanding Lipid Metabolism: From Digestion to Diseases
Q. Choose True:
– Two classes of phospholipids contain sphingosine and glycerol as a backbone.
– Both classes are found as structural components of membranes and play a role in the generation of lipid signaling molecules.
Ethanolamine + PA = Cephalin
Choline + PA = Lecithin
Q. Two molecules of PA esterified through their phosphate group to glycerol is called:
Cardiolipin
Q. The backbone of sphingomyelin is the amino alcohol:
Sphingosine

The Risks and Benefits of Cosmetic Surgery
Introduction
For modern people, cosmetic surgery has become increasingly popular. Some believe it is a technique to enhance beauty. The basic intention of this surgery is to enhance an individual’s appearance by changing body parts. On the other hand, others disagree, saying that cosmetic surgery can pose a risk of serious diseases such as a heart attack.
Risks of Cosmetic Surgery

Pathogenesis of Inflammation
Vascular Changes
Vasodilation occurs, increasing blood flow and causing congestion. Dilated capillaries become more permeable, leading to fluid leakage and potential bleeding.
Cellular Changes
Leukocytes adhere to vessel walls (margination) and then migrate through the endothelium (diapedesis) to the infection site. They engulf and eliminate foreign particles and pathogens through phagocytosis.
Tumor Changes
Accumulation of water, acids, and fibrinogen at the injury site causes
