Adipose tissue, commonly known as body fat, is a type of connective tissue that stores energy in the form of fat. Think of it as your body's energy reserve. 🍔 It also cushions and insulates organs, protecting them from injury and maintaining body temperature. 🐻 There are two main types: white adipose tissue, which stores energy, and brown adipose tissue, which generates heat. Adipose tissue is essential for survival, but too much can lead to health problems. It's like a backup battery for your body.
