Adipose tissue forms a thick layer under the skin, around the kidneys and in the buttocks. More generally, it is found at the same locations throughout the body as areolar connective tissue. Specific examples of the locations of adipose tissue include: Subcutaneous layer deep to skin.
Definition. Adipose is a loose connective tissue that fills up space between organs and tissues and provides structural and metabolic support. It is part of the nutrient glue that holds us all together. Adipose tissue is often referred to as fat. Although fat is the main component, it is not the only component found in the tissue. All mammals possess both white and brown adipose. White adipose is the typical fat cell called an adipocyte.
