Fat is stored in the human body (b) In adipose tissue. Adipose tissue, also known as body fat, is a specialized connective tissue primarily responsible for storing excess energy in the form of triglycerides. It is distributed throughout the body, with significant depots located beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat) and around internal organs (visceral fat).
Adipose tissue serves various functions beyond energy storage, including thermal insulation, cushioning of organs, and hormone regulation. Excess calorie intake leads to the accumulation of triglycerides in adipocytes, the specialized cells within adipose tissue, resulting in weight gain and increased body fat percentage.
