White adipose connective tissue
This adipose connective tissue is white adipose tissue, made up of adipocytes with a single lipid droplet (unilocular adipocytes). White adipose tissue predominates in the adult and functions to store lipid. A second type of adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, contains cells with multiple lipid droplets (multilocular adipocytes) and is found in infants and hibernating animals. Hypodermis 400x
