Adipose tissue is the second type of loose connective tissue. It is loaded with fat cells. Fat cells are so full of stored fat that their nuclei and cytoplasm are pushed up against the cell membrane. Adipose tissue acts as a firm, protective packing around and between organs, bundles of muscle fibers and nerves, and it supports blood vessels. Because fat is a poor conductor of heat, adipose tissue acts as insulation for the body, protecting is from excessive heat losses or excessive heat increases in temperature.
