MHS 213 Lymph Nodes

White Adipocytes

is abundant in this specimen of mesentery that also includes several lymph nodes.

are large, round cells (up to a 100 µm diameter) with a single droplet of lipids (unilocular). A thin rim of cytoplasm encircles the droplet with the nucleus flattened along the edge of the cell.

Most cells and their nuclei are seen in cross section. Infrequently, the are seen en face.

The cells appear empty because the lipids are extracted during tissue preparation.

A cluster of adipocytes are shown in EM 107 Adipose Tissue as seen by scanning electron microscopy.
