Download Solution PDFThe 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.
- Epithelium/Epithelial Tissue
- Connective Tissue
- Muscular TIssue
- 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
- White adipose tissue - present in adults
- 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
