Adipose Conective Tissue
Adipose is composed mostly of adipocytes that contain a lipid droplet, which does not stain, surrounded by a think border. As a result, when observing adipose tissue, you see empty looking cells with the nuclei pushed out to one side. Adipose connective tissue functions as an energy reserve as well as to insulate the body and protect internal organs.
