It is a fat storing connective tissue. Its cells becomes large and oval due to the storage os fat globules.These cells are called adipocytes.It is found below the skin, around the heart, brain, below the eyeballs and around some other organs.
.They store reserve fat in the form of fat globules.
.Acts as heat insulator.
.Provides body contours (shapes).
.Acts as shock absorber around vital organs such as heart, kidneys, eyeballs etc.
hope this helps. ^_^

"Adipose tissue is a specialised connective tissue consisting of lipid-rich cells called adipocytes."
- Since it contains about 20-25% of total body weight in healthy individuals, the important function of adipose tissue is to store energy in the form of lipids (fat).
- According to its location, the fat tissue is divided into two parts -
- Parietal (under the skin) - Parietal or subcutaneous fat, which is embedded in the connective tissue under the skin
- Visceral (surrounding organs) - Visceral fat, which surrounds the internal organs, such as eyeballs (periorbital fat) or kidneys (perirenal fat capsule).
- Depending on adipocyte morphology, there are two types of adipose tissues -
- White adipose tissue - mainly found in adults
- Brown adipose tissue - mainly found in newborns
- Besides storing energy, the fat tissue has various other important functions in the body. These comprise thermal isolation, cushioning of the organs and production of numerous bioactive factors.
