    2.19   Multilocular adipocytes Version française
Section of the trachea of a dog.

This field shows a cluster of multilocular adipocytes (A). Some of these cells show their centrally located spherical nucleus. Their cytoplasm contains numerous lipid droplets of various sizes. This lipid was dissolved during the histological procedure.

The granularity of the cytoplasm between these vacuoles is due to the acidophilic mitochondria.

The elongated nuclei, seen between the adipocytes, belong to fibrocytes or endothelial cells of capillaries.

Stain: H–­­E
