Interference of Cell Membrane
Poison such as aerosols are substances that cause damage to living tissues and have a severe impact on the body if inhaled, injected through the skin, or ingested. For poison to create toxicity, enough quantity of that chemical should be fascinated into the body. Since the substance must pass through numerous membranes before it enters the plasma, the capability of the substance to cross these lipid-rich membranes regulates if it will be fascinated and that capability depends on the substance’s phospholipid solubility.
The cell membrane is comprised of two phospholipid layers; the phospholipid molecules each contain a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic end. A substance tends to liquefy more freely in substances of the same polarity. When the poison enters the cell membrane, it first binds with a carrier protein in the cell membrane and the diffuse through the membrane (Choi, Mi-Jin, et al. pg 298). Because the process does not requi...
