What is the histological structure of adipose tissue?
Adipose tissue is composed of adipocytes, which are specialized cells that store fat. These cells appear as large, round cells with a single lipid droplet occupying most of the cell volume, pushing the nucleus and cytoplasm to the periphery. Adipose tissue is classified into white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). WAT primarily stores energy, while BAT is involved in thermogenesis.
