Adipose tissue is formed of closely packed adipocytes (fat-cells).
It is located under skin (as a subcutaneous layer), around kidneys and eyeballs and breasts. There is a large thick layer over the lower abdomen that protects the intestines. Adipose tissue stores energy, insulates and protects.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of connective tissue functions as a reserve energy supply for the body?
Adipose tissue functions as a reserve energy supply for the body. It stores excess energy in the form of triglycerides and releases it as needed.
Which is not a function of connective tissue?
One function of connective tissue is not storing energy.
What do yellow bone marrow have lots of?
Yellow bone marrow is rich in fat cells (adipocytes) which serve as an energy reserve for the body. It also contains some connective tissue and blood vessels.
Is adipose a connective tissue?
Yes adipose, also known as fat, is a loose connective tissue.
What type of tissue stores fat?
Adipose tissue. This is a loose connective tissue comprised of fibroblasts, adipocytes, and immune cells.
Which type of connective tissue functions as a reserve energy supply for the body?
Adipose tissue functions as a reserve energy supply for the body. It stores excess energy in the form of triglycerides and releases it as needed.
Which connective tissue reserves energy?
Adipose tissue (fat) acts as a reserve source of energy.
What are a group of of similar cell that that perform a common fuction?
Tissue (epithelial muscle nervous and connective)
Which connective tissue insulates against heat loss?
The Adipose Connective Tissue insulates against heat loss and provides reserve fuel.
What connective tissues types is a storage reserve for fat?
adipose tissue
Which is not a function of connective tissue?
One function of connective tissue is not storing energy.
Adipose and areolar tissues are examples of?
Connective tissues. Adipose tissue stores energy in the form of fat, while areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue that provides support and flexibility to organs.
Does connective tissue need lots of energy?
Connective tissue generally does not require a lot of energy compared to more metabolically active tissues like muscle or nervous tissue. Its primary functions, such as providing support, structure, and protection, rely more on the extracellular matrix rather than high energy consumption. However, some types of connective tissue, like adipose tissue, can be energy-storing and metabolically active in certain contexts. Overall, the energy demand of connective tissue is relatively low.

What tissue has good blood supply and an extensive extracellular matrix?
connective tissue
