Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Adipose tissue or fat tissue is an example of connective tissue, made up of adipocytes. It plays a role in the storage of energy, forming an insulating layer over the body, and provide support and protection to various organs, such as the kidney. Adipose tissues are of two types, white adipose tissues, and brown adipose tissues. Brown adipose tissues are associated with the generation of energy when required.

It includes ceruminous glands in the skin
Known as odoriferous sweat glands
They develop in the embryo as invaginations of epidermis
Start to function at puberty and are controlled by sex hormones
They appear first in palms and soles in the fourth gestational month
The duct becomes continuous with a corkscrew-shaped cleft between epidermal cells-
The secretory tubules is lined by simple cuboidal epithelium
