The lipid bilayer is a fundamental structure of cell membranes, composed primarily of phospholipids. In this bilayer, phospholipids arrange themselves in two layers with their hydrophilic (water-attracting) "heads" facing outward towards the water inside and outside of the cell, and their hydrophobic (water-repelling) "tails" facing inward, away from water.
