Fat in the human body is primarily stored in adipose tissue.
– Adipose tissue is a specialized connective tissue composed of adipocytes (fat cells).
– These cells store energy in the form of triglycerides (fat).
– Adipose tissue also provides insulation, protection for organs, and produces hormones.
– Red blood cells are involved in oxygen transport.
– Muscle tissue is primarily for movement.
– Epithelial tissue forms linings and coverings.
– While other tissues contain some lipids, adipose tissue is the body’s main storage site for large quantities of fat.
