Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The functions of adipose connective tissues.
Introduction:
Connective tissues are the supporting tissues, which binds to other tissues of the body and provide support to them. Distributed widely, connective tissues are made up of cells and extracellular matrix. Loose connective tissues, dense connective tissues, and specialized connective tissues are the three main types of the connective tissues.
Adipose tissues are a type of loose connective tissue which contains a large amount of fat droplets. The cells of the adipose tissues are adipocytes which stores energy and fat. The two types of adipose tissues are white adipose tissues and brown adipose tissues.
