No. Based on the wording of your question you are working on an anato/Physio I tissue unit quiz. You will recall that adipose tissue is generally a large cell with a fat storage area with its nucleus pushed to the side. It's primary function is to provide protection, store fat and provide insulation.
The correct answer to your quiz is "its primary function is nutrient storage."
What else can I help you with?
Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
Is adipose tissue vascularized?
Yes, adipose tissue is highly vascularized. It contains a network of blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to the fat cells, as well as help in the removal of waste products. The blood vessels in adipose tissue also play a role in regulating metabolic processes and temperature control.
What is mitotic lesion?
A mitotic lesion is one in which there is an increased rate of mitosis in cells. This can be indicative of cancer where there is abnormal proliferation of cells.
Cells that undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division are called?
Somatic cells undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division. Meiotic division is only seen in germ cells to produce gametes.
Is adipose tissue primarily composed of protein?
No, adipose tissue is primarily composed of fat cells, not protein.
How can adults gain weight as fat since mature adipose cells don't divide?
Mature adipose cells do not divide to make more cells, but they can get larger. Liposuction removes adipose cells so excessive fat cannot be regained in that area.
Which tissue types remain highly mitotic throughout life and why?
The bone marrow remains highly mitotic through out the life. You need all the blood cells through out the life. The number of red blood cells is very high.
Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
What is the formation of spermatozoa called?
Spermatogenesis is the formation of spermatozoa from spermatogonia in the testes. This process involves mitotic division, meiotic division, and differentiation of male germ cells to produce mature sperm cells.
Which gland produces leptin?
fat tissue or adipose tissue
Is adipose a tendon?
No, adipose is another type of connective tissue, which is fat cells.
Which one has less mitochondria digestive or adipose cells?
Adipose cells most certainly. Fat storage cells do not meed the same amount of energy as digestive cells do.
What cells insulate?
adipose maybe
Is adipose tissue a dense connective tissue?
adipose are fat cells that insulate our body.
What kind of cells are post mitotic cells?
Secondary Data
What is the name of cells found in adipose tissue?
fat cells
Why are adipose cells called signet ring cells?
Due to accumulation of fat particles in the cytoplasm, the nucleus of the adipose cell moves towards the cell membrane giving a look alike ring. Thus adipose cells are also called signet ring cells.
