Study Notes
Lipids
- Lipids are freely soluble in non-polar solvents (e.g., chloroform, benzene, and ether)
- Lipids are carried in the bloodstream by lipoproteins
Classification of Lipids
- Triglycerides (neutral fats) are esters of fatty acids with glycerol or other higher alcohols
- Derived lipids are derived from lipids and include fatty acids and steroids
- Complex lipids are subclassified as phospholipids and non-phospholipids
Breast Anatomy
- In males, the breast tissue is rudimentary
- In females, the breast functions as a milk-producing gland in the female reproductive system
- The axillary tail of Spence lies in the upper outer quadrant of the breast
- The breast is conical or hemispherical in shape
- The base of the breast extends vertically from the 2nd to the 6th rib
