Q

What is the function of unilocular adipocytes?

A

Store fat “white fat”
May increase or decrease but NEVER leave
“Signet ring”

17
Q

What is the function of multilocular adipocytes?

A

Fat storage (brown fat)
Heat production
Goes away with time
Usually in infants

18
Q

Steps of an inflammatory response. Ex: get a splinter

A
  1. Antigen exposure ie.splinter
  2. Mast cell sees antigen and gives off histamine
  3. Histamine causes swelling + heat production (fever)
  4. Mast cells call for leukocytes
19
Q

What is the function of plasma cells?

A

Create antibodies
“B cells”
Originate in lymphoid organs
