Adipose: Loose CT. Source of stored energy, thermal insulation, cushion. Highly vascular but capillaries have small dimensions compared to adipocytes.

Adipose tissue acts as an insulating layer, helping to reduce heat loss through the skin. It also has a protective function, providing mechanical protection and support around some of the major organs, e.g. kidneys. Adipose tissue is also a means of energy storage.

This tissue is made of white and clear cells that store fat droplets, so wherever there is fat there is adipose tissue! This tissue with fat insulates the body and provides cushion and energy. One can identify this tissue by its big white circles that represent the fat cells in the body. An issue with this can become if there becomes too much/big of adipose tissue created because that then would result in obesity.

A new study has affirmed the link between the presence of brown fat and improved cardiac or metabolic health, validating the relatively new hypothesis that the type of adipose tissue commonly referred to as brown fat confers broad health benefits.
