Another word for "fats." Lipids can be more formally defined as substances such as a fat‚ oil or wax that dissolves in alcohol but not in water. Lipids contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen but have far less oxygen proportionally than carbohydrates. They are found in places as diverse as egg yolks and the human nervous system and are important component of plant‚ animal and microbial membranes A fatty or waxy are organic compound that is readily soluble in nonpolar solvent (e.g. ether)

The arteries channel blood from the heart to all parts of the body needing service. Once there‚ the blood passes through narrow arteries and enters the capillaries‚ which are the narrowest blood vessels
