Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adipose tissue is a specialized connective tissue that is composed of fat cells (adipocytes), which are responsible for storing energy in the form of triglycerides. This is what we commonly refer to as body fat. Leptin is a hormone produced by adipose tissue, but it is not another name for it. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, and muscle is a separate type of tissue that is responsible for movement and support.
