V. ADIPOSE TISSUE. 



This tissue is composed of large, poorly stained cells, 

 and is found in a large number of places in the body. 

 These cells are bound together by areola tissue. The 

 fat cells are derived from the fixed connective cells. 



ADIPOSE TISSUE. 

 1, Nucleus; 2, protoplasm; 3, fat drop; 4, cell wall. 



The protoplasm is converted into fat, and the nucleus 

 is pushed to one -side and finally leaves the cell-body. 

 Fat surrounds every tissue of the body except the brain 

 and spinal cord. This tissue is used as a cushion for 

 the eye.
