Question
Chapter 27, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the statement, adipose tissue is not only the storage site of fat, should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Adipose tissue is a connective tissue, which is composed of adipocytes. Its main function is to store fat in it and insulate and cushioning the body. This tissue is located below the skin, bone marrow, internal organs, and breast tissue. Adipose tissue helps in maintaining glucose, sex hormones, and cholesterol.
