    GlossaryAdipose Tissue

    connective tissue that stores energy as body fat

    Adipose tissue, commonly known as body fat, is a type of connective tissue that stores energy in the form of fat. It also serves as insulation to help regulate body temperature and provides cushioning to protect internal organs. This tissue is composed of adipocytes, which are specialized cells that store lipids, and it plays a crucial role in metabolic processes and hormone production.
