I. GENERAL FEATURES OF
ADIPOSE TISSUE

• Connective tissue to store fuel


• Adipocytes deposit triglyceride in droplets
• Adipocytes scattered depending on such
factors
• Clusters of adipocytes are divide into lobes
and lobules by septa
• Individual adipocytes surrounded by
network of reticular fibers
• 2 types of adipose tissue:
- White adipose tissue/ white fat
(Unilocular adipose tissue)
- Brown adipose tissue/ brown fat
(Multilocular adipose tissue)
II. WHITE ADIPOSE TISSUE

A. Distinguishing features
• Single fat droplet in each cell
• Nucleus and cytoplasm at the cell periphery
• Cell diameter from 50 to 150 m
• In histologic section  signet-ring appearance
• sometimes termed yellow adipose tissue or yellow
fat
White adipose tissue
B. Distribution
• Subcutaneus fat
• Intra-abdominal fat
• Other locations

C. Functional Characteristics
1. Factors enhancing lipid up take
(lipogenic influences)
2. Factors enhancing lipid mobilization
(lipolytic influences)
D. Histogenesis
Derive from mesenchymal precursor cells
 Lipoblas  Unilocular adipocyte
III. BROWN ADIPOSE TISSUE

A. Distinguishing features
• Multiple small lipid droplets in each cell
• Smaller than white adipocytes
• Spheric, centrally located nucleus
• Reddish-brown tissue color is due to
mitochondrial cytochrom
• Lobular appearance
Brown Adipose Tissue
• The vascular supply is very rich
• Many unmyelinated nerve fibers
contact with the adipocytes
B. Distribution
• Less than white adipose tissue
• Fetus or newborns have in the axilla,
posterior triangle of the neck, and the
renal hilus
Distribution of adipose tissue. In human newborn, multilocular adipose
tissue constitutes 2 – 5 % of the body weight and is distributed as
shown. The areas indicate multilocular adipose tissue ; shahed areas, a
mixture of multilocular and unilocular adipose tissue.
C. Functional Characteristics
The same function with white adipose
tissue, but more intense and can lead to
generation of heat.
D. Histogenesis
Derived from mesenchymal precursor
cells
 assume an epithelial shape and
arrangement  lipoblast  multilocular
adipocyte.
