specialized connective tissue Flashcards
3 Specialized connective tissues
Adipose , cartillage, bone
In between white and brown are
beige adipose
fats cells, lipid containing cells
Adipocytes
functions of adipose tissues
Insulation
Support
Cushioning
Regulation of metabolism
Energy storage
Specialized for long-term energy storage
White Adipose Tissues
possessing one cavity. Cavity consists
of fats
*Fats dissolve in most fixatives
Unilocular
signet-ring appearance
Adipocyte
Benign tumors that are mainly composed of
fats
lipomas
malignant tumors, mainly
composed of (FATS) white adipose tissue
Liposarcomas
malignant)
can be found sa newborns. Mainly composed of
brown adipose tissues.
hibernomas
Carry fats → liver → synthesizes fat
it will be synthesized to LDL
chylomicrons
Bad cholesterol → tissues → lipids
LDL
build up of fats sa
cardiac veins or arteries
Artherosclerosis
returns fat back to the liver for re-synthesis
HDL
purpose of lipoprotein lipase
Released by tissues to dissolve lipids for
tissue consumption. In order to intake the tissue it needs to dissolve(melt)
are enzymes that dissolve the fats sa tissues
pag nadeliver na ni LDL.
Lipoprotein lipase
