Adipose tissue is also called fat tissue. It is found under the skin, around organs such as the eyes and kidneys, on the surface of the heart, around certain joints, and in some abdominal members as an "apron" over the abdominal organs. Your skin has three layers. Epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. Adipose tissue is in the hypodermis.

Adipose tissue is found throughout your body - surrounding organs and underneath the skin to protect the vital organs. Adipose tissue typically concentrates around the thighs and hips for women, and the belly for men.

Foods abundant in fat are the easiest for your body to change into adipose tissue - there is less conversion that has to take place than if you were to eat an excess of carbohydrates, for example.

The adipose tissue is located underneath the skin, not in it. It is in the subcutaneous fat layer.
