Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adipose tissue, otherwise known as body fat, is a connective tissue that extends throughout your body. It’s found under your skin (subcutaneous fat), between your internal organs (visceral fat) and even in the inner cavities of bones (bone marrow adipose tissue).

Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. The fat layer of skin is located in the subcutaneous layer of tissue called the hypodermis. The thickness of the fat layer, which varies greatly from one person to another, depends on the size and number of fat cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Their shapes range from spherical (when isolated) to oval or polyhedral (as part of adipose tissue). The largest part of the cell is filled with a single (unilocular) lipid droplet that pushes and flattens the nucleus to the periphery of the cell.
