What are adipose tissues?
Adipose tissues are connective tissues. Tissues are combination of cells having the same origin, but may not be identical. Together they perform particular operations in our bodies. A cell is the basic unit that sustains a life form. The fat in the adipose tissues is stored as triglycerides which play a pivotal role in metabolism (the chemical reactions within being that maintains life). The adipose tissues are sources of energy. They are also the conduit of fat, primarily dietary. Among mammals, there are two different types of adipose tissues: brown and white. The majority of the adipose tissues are white in color. The distribution, presence, and amount of the adipose tissues vary in species. Mentionably, the storage and synthesis of fat from these adipose tissues occur normally.
