| multilocular adipose tissue | A thermogenic type of adipose tissue containing a dark pigment, and arising during embryonic life in certain specific areas in many mammals, including man. It is prominent in the newborn of all species in which it occurs and remains a distinct and conspicuous tissue in the adults of certain species, especially those that hibernate.

| connective tissue disease | <rheumatology> A heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by abnormal structure or function of one or more of the elements of connective tissue, i.e., collagen, elastin, or the mucopolysaccharides.

They do not solely affect connective tissues but they are autoimmune in origin. Rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis were first proposed as such disease's, and other so-called collagen disease's have been added. (18 Jul 2002) |
