Adipose Tissue HISTOLOGY



OUTLINE ● Fibroblasts, m phages, and other cells typically comprise about
half the total cell number in white adipose tissue.

Storage & Mobilization of Lipids
● The distribution of white adipose tissue changes significantly
Histogenesis of White Adipose Tissue
III. Brown Adipose Tissue through childhood and adult life and is partly regulated by sex
Function of Brown Adipocytes hormones
Histogenesis of Brown Adipose Tissue


ADIPOSE TISSUE
● CT in which fat-storing cells (adipocytes) predominate
● Typically found isolated or in small groups within loose/dense
irregular CT but occur in large aggregates in adipose tissue or
“fat” in many organs and body regions
● Represents 15-20% of the body weight in men
● Serve as storage depots for neutral fats, chiefly triglycerides
(long-chain fatty acyl esters of glycerol)
● Key regulators of the body’s overall energy metabolism
● Provides thermal i lation for the body
● Help shape the body surface, and cushion regions subject to
repeated mechanical stress such as the palms, heels, and toe
pads.
● Adipocytes
○ active cells metabolically, responding to both nervous and
hormonal stimuli
○ They release hormones and various other important Storage & Mobilization of Lipids

endocrine organ at the center of nutritional homeostasis. ● White adipocytes can store triglycerides derived from three
