Compartmentation: Cells and Tissues Explained — Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach▶ 3:04That's where the membrane becomes so criticalThat thin phospholipid bilayer around the lysosome is the failsafeIt's what prevents a total chemical catastropheCellular Level of Organization — Visual Anatomy & Physiology▶ 8:23But it is a genius piece of architectureWe call it a phospholipid bilayer because it is composed of two layers of phospholipid moleculesAnd then the structure dictates everything it doesMolecules & Membranes: Structure & Function — The Cell: A Molecular Approach▶ 15:50While the hydrophilic heads arrange themselves to face the waterThis is what causes them to spontaneously assemble into a stable, self -sealing phospholipid bilayer, the fundamental structure of every single cell…And then there are other important lipids, like cholesterol
