Hello student
There is only a particular type of tissue present in the body for storage of fat that is Adipose Tissue.
Adipose tissue,or fatty tissue, connective tissue consisting mainly of fat cells (adipose cells), specialized to synthesize and contain large globules of fat, within a structural network of fibres. It is found mainly under the skin but also in deposits between the muscles, in the intestines and in their membrane folds, around the heart, and elsewhere. The fat stored in this tissue comes from dietary fats or is produced in the body.
