I thank the readers of net.med and of net.nlang for their replies to an earlier request for a technical term. I now present another request. Our bodies store fat in two places. We have fat underneath our skin, and we have fat around certain internal organs. I would like to know a word that denotes organic fat, as opposed to subcutaneous fat. If you know more than one such term, please mail me all the words you know that denote different kinds of fat. As I have said before, I expect that such words are polysyllabic and Greek, but any words are welcome as long as they precisely denote organic fat. Thank you in advance for your help.
