Adipose Tissue/Fat tissue Human adipose tissue Adipocytes Rounded Cell membrane
Contain droplets of fat Cytoplasm
(when many: globules). Acts Rounded, Peripheries Nucleus
as an insulating layer, polygonal Matrix
helping to reduce heat loss
through the skin. It also has
a protective function,
providing mechanical
protection ("padding") and
support around some of the
major organs, e.g. kidneys.
Adipose tissue is also a
means of energy storage.

provides support, but is less
rigid than bone. It also
allows for some flexibility
of movement, but has more
stability than muscle. The
extracellular matrix of
cartilage is produced by
cells called chondroblasts/
chrondrocytes
