Study Notes
Thrombosis
- Thrombosis is the formation of a liquid blood clot within the cardiovascular system.
- The blood clot formed during thrombosis is not adherent to the vessel wall.
- Thrombus refers to the solid or semi-solid blood clot mass formed during thrombosis.
Lipids and Fatty Acids
- Complete hydrolysis of simple and compound lipids yields fatty acids.
- Fatty acids found in natural lipids include:
- Saturated fatty acids
- Unsaturated fatty acids
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Omega-6 fatty acids
- Fatty acids can be classified into different categories based on their:
- Chain length
- Degree of saturation
- Functionality
- Short chain fatty acids are characterized by:
- Having fewer than 6 carbon atoms
- Being easily soluble in water
- Being more readily metabolized by the body
- Playing a significant role in lipid classification
