The heads (the phospho part) are polar while the tails (the lipid part) are non-polar. The heads, which form the outer and inner linings, are "hydrophilic" ( ... Red cell membrane: past, present, and future. Blood. 2008 Nov 15;112(10):3939-48. doi: 10.1182/blood-2008-07-161166. MCS scientists have invented and are using a suite of tools to gain a deeper knowledge of the molecular properties of membranes. The cell membrane, regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also provides protection and support. The cell takes in food and water and eliminates wastes.
