Adipose Tissue (Purely Storage)
■■■■■
The memory that fat (adipose) tissue is solely for energy storage and insulation, ignoring its significant endocrine functions.
●
What People Remember
People often remember adipose tissue as serving only for energy storage and insulation, with no other active roles.
◉
What's Actually True
While it stores energy and insulates, adipose tissue is also a dynamic endocrine organ, producing hormones (like leptin and adiponectin) that influence metabolism, inflammation, and other bodily functions.
