Fig. 110. Developing fat from subcutaneous tissue of pig embryo 5 inches long

Small artery breaking up into capillary network' groups of fat cells developing in embryonic connective tissue.

Fat cells usually develop in groups or masses around blood vessels (Fig. 10). The neighboring groups gradually enlarge and approach each other, but do not fuse, thus leaving more or less fibrous connective tissue between them, which constitutes the interlobular tissue seen in adult adipose tissue. Among the individual cells in a lobule there is also a small amount of fibrous tissue present. From the mode of development a small artery usually affords the blood supply for each lobule.

Historic Disclaimer - information about historic embryology pages

Pages where the terms "Historic" (textbooks, papers, people, recommendations) appear on this site, and sections within pages where this disclaimer appears, indicate that the content and scientific understanding are specific to the time of publication. This means that while some scientific descriptions are still accurate, the terminology and interpretation of the developmental mechanisms reflect the understanding at the time of original publication and those of the preceding periods, these terms, interpretations and recommendations may not reflect our current scientific understanding.     (More?
