Fat tissue is a type of connective tissue, a group that also includes cartilage, bone, blood, tendons, and ligaments. A unilocular, or monovacuolar, fat cell consists of a single lipid droplet surrounded by a layer of cytoplasm, or intracellular liquid. The cell nucleus is flattened ...
Loose connective tissue includes areolar, adipose, and reticular tissue. Areolar tissue is a mesh-like tissue with a fluid matrix that supports the epithelium, tissue that makes up the skin and other membranes. Adipose tissue is fat, which provides cushioning and insulation, lubrication in some ar...
My husband read an article in the NYTimes on the benefits of rolfing. It is a deep form of massage and moving within the fascia (connective tissue) in the body. Since the treatments, I am feeling less pain, and have noticed that I have more movement/mobility. My posture is also improv...
Fascia is made up of fibrous connective tissue containing closely packed bundles of collagen fibers oriented in a wavy pattern parallel to the direction of the pull. Fascia is consequently flexible and able to resist great unidirectional tension forces until the wavy pattern of fibers have been stra...
Learn about connective tissue, one of the body's four tissue types. It plays essential roles by protecting, supporting, and joining organs to tissues
What is the matrix in connective tissue? What is tissue tropism? Is adipose a connective tissue? Where besides adipose tissue is fat stored? Which epithelial tissues are one layer thick? What type of malignant tumor originates from adipose tissue?
2.Connective Tissue (elastic) Elastic connective tissue is a broadened category. It includes ligaments, tendons, cartilage (ears and nose), and adipose (fat) tissue. Any movement in these accounts for internal force causing motion. Example: ...

Collectively, these findings suggest that CCN-2 plays a role in adipocyte differentiation in vivo and thus in the pathogenesis of obesity linked with insulin resistance. 展开 关键词: adipose tissue connective tissue growth factor fat cell differentiation insulin resistance ...
In these samples, the percentage of fat, gland, and connective tissue was estimated using low-magnification light microscopy. In this group of patients (who had an average age of 34 years and who were significantly overweight as determined by a mean body mass index of 28), it was found (...
