The correct answer is Adipose tissue.

Concept:

  • Multicellular organisms have an organization of similar cells that perform a specific function, these are called tissues.
  • Cells present in a tissue may not be exactly similar in structure and functions but all of them are similar in origin
  • The word Animal tissue was coined by Bichat.
  • The study of tissue is called Histology.
  • Based on the structure and functions tissue can be grouped into four categories.
  1. Epithelium/Epithelial Tissue
  2. Connective Tissue 
  3. Muscular TIssue
  4. Nervous Tissue

Explanation:

  • Adipose Tissue is a specialized type of connective tissue.
  • These tissues have oval-shaped cells called adipocytes which are present below the skin surface WHite adipose tissue - present in and stores lipids or fats.
  • The fat collected is in the form of a fat globule.
  • Based on the morphology adipose tissue is of two types
  1. White adipose tissue - present in adults
  2. Brown adipose tissue - present in infants.

Additional Information

  • Epithelium tissue forms the outer covering of the body, lining of body cavities, and hollow organs.
  • Areolar connective tissue is the most widely distributed tissue present in the body, it provides a support framework for epithelium.
  • Muscular tissue is responsible for the movement of multicellular organisms
