How does the fatty tissue help to regulate body temperature?
Insulating tissue that provides warmth.
The layer of fatty tissue below the dermis protects the body from?
Quastium (named after Cynthia Quast, scientist)
What does the inside of a breast look like?
The inside of a female breast is mostly fatty tissue (glandular tissue and adipose tissue) with a gland in the center (the mammary gland) that goes to the nipple. Use the link below to see a diagram and learn more.
What is the fatty tissue that covers axons and speeds up impulses as they travel from cell to cell?
The fatty tissue that covers axons and speeds up impulses is called myelin. Myelin acts as an insulating layer, which helps to increase the speed and efficiency of nerve impulse transmission along the axon.
What tissue insulates the body?
adipose connective tissue
What is a vitiamin that dissolves in fats and can be stired in the fatty tissue?
A fatty acid.
Is fat adipose tissue?
Yes, adipose tissue is another name for fatty tissue.
Fatty tissue can be found in the?
Butt
What is the fatty layer of tissue that gives many nerves a whitish color?
The fatty layer of tissue that gives many nerves a whitish color is called myelin. Myelin is produced by specialized cells called Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. It acts as an insulating layer around nerve fibers, allowing for faster conduction of nerve impulses.
What is a tumor called that is in fatty tissue?
A tumor that develops in fatty tissue is called a lipoma. Lipomas are generally benign (non-cancerous) growths composed of adipose (fat) cells. They are usually soft, movable, and painless, and can occur anywhere in the body where fatty tissue is present. In rare cases, malignant tumors in fatty tissue are referred to as liposarcomas.
Which oil contains mostly polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Which oil contains mostly polyunsaturated fatty acids?
What is the fatty substance that speeds up transmission of impulses and surrounds the axon of a neuron?
The fatty substance that surrounds the axon of a neuron and speeds up the transmission of impulses is called myelin. Myelin acts as an insulating layer that helps to maintain the electrical signal within the neuron, allowing for faster and more efficient communication between cells.
