thumb|Phospholipid arrangement in cell membranes. thumb|Phosphatidylcholine is the major component of [[lecithin. It is also a source for choline in the synthesis of acetylcholine in cholinergic neurons.]]
Phospholipids are fatty molecules with a phosphate group attached that form the basic structural layer of cell membranes, arranged so their water-loving heads face outward and their water-repelling tails face inward. One important type called phosphatidylcholine makes up most of lecithin and helps produce acetylcholine, a chemical messenger in the brain and nervous system.
