Which tissue that stores fat in our body?
Adipose (fat) tissue. Fat can also be deposited in muscle; with a disease such as muscular dystrophy or on organs like the liver with liver damage. There is a type of fat (brown) which exists on or around internal organs, and subcutaneous fat which is underneath the the out layers of skin.
Can white adipose tissue be converted to brown fat?
The common belief is that it cannot, though there are some that believe it can. Brown adipose tissue (brown fat) developed mostly before birth and white adipose tissue (white fat) develops after birth during early development.
Why are the three types of fat in human fat tissue colored brown white and yellow?
Brown fat contains more mitochondria that generate heat, giving it a darker color. White fat stores energy and is yellowish due to carotenoids from certain foods. Yellow fat can result from lipid breakdown products accumulating in the adipose tissue.
Thermogenesis is the function of what system?
Thermogenesis is the function of the metabolic system, including processes such as shivering and the production of heat by brown adipose tissue.
What is adipose and what is its function?
Adipose tissue is fat tissue. It is important for energy storage and as padding (eg protecting your heelbone when you walk). Many people now have more fat than is healthy, which can lead to strain on joints and excess fats in the blood, increasing the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
What is the function of the fat (adipose) tissue?
Heat production in the absence of shivering is called nonshivering thermogenesis. This is the major function of brown adipose tissue (brown fat). (Human Physiology 12th edition Stuart Ira Fox <p667>)
What is the function of the muscle and fat tissue that you removed?

Fat tissue is also referred to as adipose tissue?
It is true that fat tissue is also referred to as adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue whose main function is to store lipids.

What are the different types of fats?
If you are referring to adipose tissue, there is: brown adipose tissue (or brown fat), and white adipose tissue (or white fat). If you're referring to foods, there is: unsaturated fats and saturated fats.
Can white adipose tissue be converted to brown fat?
The common belief is that it cannot, though there are some that believe it can. Brown adipose tissue (brown fat) developed mostly before birth and white adipose tissue (white fat) develops after birth during early development.
What is fat tissue function?
Fat tissue keep heat in the body and are protein reserves for when there is little energy giving substances Ex. FOOD!!
Why are the three types of fat in human fat tissue colored brown white and yellow?

What tissue is specialized for collecting and storing food the fat or epithelial?
Connective tissue in general, specializes in collecting and storing fat. The sub-division of connective tissue that has been delegated this task is the Adipocytes, both white and brown
Does bone tissue function as a fat storage area?
The yellow marrow in the medullary cavity in long bones functions as a fat storage area.
What type of tissue is fat?
Fat is adipose tissue which is a connective tissue.
Thermogenesis is the function of what system?
Thermogenesis is the function of the metabolic system, including processes such as shivering and the production of heat by brown adipose tissue.
