Connective tissue is a type of animal tissue that supports, connects, or separates different types of tissues and organs in the body. Different types of connective tissue include adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, blood, etc. Fat storage is primarily a function of adipose tissue. The main cells that make up adipose tissue and are specialized for storing fat are called adipocytes. Therefore, fat gets stored in adipocytes, which are found in adipose tissue.

Adipose tissue is a specialized connective tissue that serves as the body’s main energy reserve by storing fat in the form of triglycerides.

Chondrocytes are cells found in cartilage. Osteocytes are cells found in bone tissue. Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells found in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. Only adipocytes are primarily involved in fat storage.
