Infrapatellar Fat Body

The infrapatellar fat body (corpus adiposum infrapatellare, pna; corpus adiposum genus, jna) is an accumulation of adipose tissue located in the popliteal region. It is located under the patella and kneecap.

The infrapatellar fat pad performs a number of important functions. Firstly, it protects the knee joint, softening shocks and stress on it. Secondly, it serves as an energy depot, storing fats. Thirdly, it participates in thermoregulation, keeping the knee joint warm.

The size of the infrapatellar fat pad varies depending on the gender, age and build of the person. It is increased in overweight individuals. As you lose weight, the infrapatellar fat pad decreases in size.

The infrapatellar fat pad can be used as a donor material for fat grafting. It also plays an important role in aesthetic surgery, when modeling the shape of the legs.

In anatomy and physiology, the infrapopliteal fat pad is an organ that is located in the popliteal fossa, between the gluteal muscles and the outer part of the lower leg. It is a collection of fat and connective tissue that protects the hips from injury and maintains their shape. Despite its name, the infrapatellar fat pad is not part of the knee, but rather is connected to the hip. It consists of two parts: fatty and fibrous.

The fatty portion of the subparietal adipose tissue is made up of adipose tissue cells and microscopic blood vessels that transport fat in the blood. These cells are filled with lipids such
