Adipose tissue (histology slide)

Preparation 1


Name: White adipose tissue HE

Description: White adipose tissue cells have a nucleus on the periphery. The cell contains one large fat drop, cytoplasm forms only a thin strip on the periphery. The cell has the appearance of a signet ring. The cells form lobules separated by dense collagenous tissue. Adipose tissueis richly vascularized and innervated.

Preparation 2


Name: White adipose tissue HE

Cytoplasm forms only a thin strip at the periphery. Fat cells are surrounded by the lamina basalis.
