Fat Cells and Blood Vessels, SEM
A mouse's fat cells (blue) are shown surrounded by a network of blood vessels (red). Fat cells store and release energy, protect organs and nerve tissues, insulate us from the cold and help us absorb important vitamins. Adipocytes, also known as lipocytes and fat cells, are the cells that primarily compose adipose tissue, specialized in storing energy as fat.
