ADIPOSA, or Adiposa Membrana, in anatomy, is a membrane investing the body, immediately under the cutis;supposed to be the basis of the fat, which is lodged in the spaces between its fibers and in peculiar cells formed herein. See FAT, CUTIS, etc.
Anatomists are divided as to the reality of this membrane;most of the later writers taking it to be no other than the exterior membrane of the Membrana Carnosa or Musculorum Communis. See MEMBRANE, CARNOSA, etc.
Vasa Adiposa, Fat-Vessels, make a part of the substance of the Omentum or Caul. See OMENTUM.
