Fibroblast and smooth muscle cells

56
Q

Pericytes possess characteristics of…….?

A

Endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells

57
Q

Which cells are outside the connective tissue conpartment and why?

A

The pericytes, because they are surrounded by their own basal lamina.

58

A

In the subcutanous layer throughout the body

74
Q

Why do the brown adipose tissue appear tan to reddish brown?

A

Because of the extensive vascularity and the chytochromes present in its abundant mitochondria

75
Q

How do the axon end in brown adipose tissue?

A

Unmyelinated nerve fibers enter the tissue, with the axon ending on the blood vessels as well as in fat cells, whereas in white fat tissue, the neurons end only on the blood vessles

76
Q

How do the axon end in white adipose tissue?

A

The neurons end only on the blood vessles

77
Q

Which substances do the unilocular fat cells have receptors for that facilitate the uptake and release of free fatty acids and glycerol?

A
  • Insulin
  • Growth hormone
  • Norepinephrine
  • Glucocorticoids
78
Q

What does the neurotransmitter norepinephrine do?

A

Activates the enzyme taht cleaves triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol initiating the heat production by oxidation of fatty acids in the mitochondria

79
Q

Thermogenin

A

A transmembrane protein located on the inner membrane of the mitochondira, permit backflow of protons instead of utilizing them for synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP); as a result of uncoupling oxidation from phosphorylation, the proton flow generates energy that is dispersed as heat

80
Q

(Stem cells –> ) Preadipocytes differentiate into adipocytes……

A

Under the influence of a series of activating factors

81
Q

Primary fat formation

A
  • Occurs early in fetal life.
  • Groups of epitheliod precusor cells are distributed at certain locations in the developing fetus; in these tissues, lipid droplets begin to accumulate in the form of brown adipose tissue
82
Q

Secondary fat formaton

A

Near the end of fetal life, other fusiform precusor cells, differentiate in many areas of the connective tissue within the fetus and begin to accumulate lipids that coalesce into the single droplet in each cell, thus forming the unilocular fat cells found in adults

83
Q

When is the brown adipose tissue present?

A

In the embryo and, a little bit in adults.

84
Q

When is white adipose tissue present?

A

Only after birth. Adults have mostly unilocular fat
