    Fat cells, also known as adipocytes, are the main structures for storing nutrients and fat in the body. They are mostly found in the neck, ventral area, hips, and tops of thighs. Adipocytes function to reduce heat loss, provide protection, store energy, and build up muscle, liver and pancreatic islet cells. Their large fat reservoirs take up most of the cell's space, leaving little room for other organelles. The shape of adipocytes, with nuclei and organelles pushed to the edges by a large central fat droplet, allows them to store more fat and serve as an efficient energy reserve.

    FAT CELL Adipocyte

    WHAT IS ADIPOSE CELL?

    Adipose cell or fat cell are the


    main structures in the body that
    store nutrient and fat. Their can
    later break down into fatty acids
    and sent into blood for use as
    energy
    LOCATION
    Can found in
    every part in our
    body but, mostly
    found in neck,
    ventral, hip, and
    top of the thigh.
    FUNCTION
    Helping to reduce heat loss through the skin.
    Has a protective function and also energy storage.
    Build up muscle, liver, pancreatic islet cell.
    Reserve of nutrients
    SPECIALIZE ORGANELLE
    Our cell had the Fat reservoir they have the
    large fat reservoir so the space in the cell isnt
    much. Also they have to store energy, dont
    have to sent the energy so they dont need a
    lot of mitochondria.
    STRUCTURE
    Have a big fat container that make the
    volume of cytoplasm become
    lesser than other cell

    The fat container make nucleus and other


    organelle being push to the corner of
    cytoplasm in cell.
    ORGANELLE
    Mitochondria
    Nucleus
    Membrane
    Fat Reservior
    Cytoplasm
    Golgi Apparatus
    Rough Endoplasmic
    Reticulum
    How shape effect the function?

    If adipocyte have other shape the surface


    area of the cell will be smaller and can
    hold less fat.
    Function to other cell

    It stores fat --> digest the stores fat by


    enzymes (lipase) --> sent it to blood -->
    sent it in the form of Fatty acid --> tissue
    to use as energy
    HOW IT HELP ORGANISM TO
    BE ALIVE?
    Providing insulation from heat and cold
    Around organs, it provides protective
    padding
    It also function as a reserve of
    nutrients
    DISEASE

    If there are too much of


    adipocyte in cell it will cause
    diabete.
