(other areas: heart, adrenal gland)
The primary fiber in the matrix is…
Reticular Fibers
Adipocytes specialize in concentrating triglycerides as ___________.
Lipid Droplets
What is Unilocular Adipose and its features?
- White adypocytes
- single, large regions of adipose cells that are highly vascularized
- Single lipid droplet of triglycerides.
- nucleus and cell contents pushed to periphery of cell
What is multilocular adipose and its features?
- Brown adipocytes
- many small lipid droplets
- centrally located nucleus
- abundant mitochodria
What is the balance of White adipose tissue in adults vs. children?
Increase in production in first 10 years of life - produces little or none after.
99% of adipose tissue adults
When is brown adipose tissue prevalent?
As children - 1% of adipose tissue in adults is multilocular
Within the mitochondria, white adipose tissue produces what?
ATP
Describe how white adipose tissue produces ATP in the mitochondria?
Facilitates proton transfer from the intermembrane to the Matrix of cell by utilizing ATP Synthetase.
What are the mitochondria in brown adipose is responsible for?
Heat Production
Describe the process of heat production within the mitochondria of brown adipose tissue.
Proton transfer from intermembrane to matrix WITHOUT ATP SYNTHETASE (uncoupling factor) to produce thermogenin.
Define Caveolae.
Invaginations or depressions in the cell membrane. Play an important role in lipid trafficking as adipocytes are constantly collecting lipid droplets from its surrounding as it grows in size.

hypodermis, subcutaneously in abdomen, buttocks and thighs
Where does cushioning occur in the kidney?
Retroperitoneal space
The hormone angiotensinogen is secreted by white adipose tissue, what is its function?
causes vasoconstriction and regulates BP.
- Too much secreted causes an Increase in BP and lead to hypertension
