內臟外的脂肪

    Adipose tissue is a type of loose connective tissue made up primarily of fat-storing cells called adipocytes. One of its key functions is to protect internal organs by acting as a natural cushion. This cushioning effect helps absorb mechanical shock and reduces the risk of injuries caused by impacts or sudden movements. Essentially, the soft, malleable (有延展性的) structure of adipose tissue provides a buffer, safeguarding delicate organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver against external forces.

    Adipose tissue is found in various locations throughout the body. It exists both as subcutaneous fat beneath the skin and as visceral fat surrounding internal organs. The visceral fat directly enveloping the organs is especially important for cushioning and insulation, illustrating how the body adapts its fat distribution to protect vital structures from physical harm.
