GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Brown fat, also called brown adipose tissue, helps maintain your body temperature when you get too cold. It’s the same fat that bears use to stay warm when they hibernate. Babies are born with a lot of brown fat behind their shoulder blades. Newborns can’t shiver, which is one of the ways the body creates heat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Brown adipose tissue is a uniquely mammalian tissue that protects neonatal body temperature around the time of birth by combusting triglycerides in the numerous mitochondria to emit heat.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heat from brown adipose tissue is generated in mammals adapted to cold, in mammalian neonates, and in mammalian hibernators during arousal; brown adipose tissue may also be active in obese mammals and thus partially protect against further obesity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Brown fat, or brown adipose tissue, is a distinct type of fat that is activated in response to cold temperatures. Its primary role is to produce heat to help maintain body temperature, and it achieves that by burning calories.
