Adipose, or fat cells, remind people of a ring with a jewel on it (or a signet ring), because when viewing the cell in profile under a microscope, they look like a ring with a small jewel. The jewel is the nucleus and other cell components, while the ring is a large lipid drop surrounded by the cell membrane.

Why do adipose cells remind people of a ring with a a single jewel?
Adipose cells are often compared to a ring with a single jewel due to their appearance under a microscope, where the cell (the "ring") surrounds a large lipid droplet (the "jewel"). This visual similarity helps to illustrate how adipose cells primarily function to store and regulate fat within the body.
Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
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.
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.
What cells insulate?
adipose maybe
Is adipose tissue a dense connective tissue?
adipose are fat cells that insulate our body.
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.
What is the major cell in adipose tissue?
Adipocytes are the cells that make up adipose tissue
What type of tissue that stores lipid molecules?
Adipose tissue stores lipid molecules. It is a type of connective tissue that provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage in the body.
