Detailed explanation-1: -The adipose tissue beneath the skin is called subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), whereas the one lining internal organs is termed visceral adipose tissue (VAT). There are considerable anatomical differences in the distribution of two adipose tissues in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adipose tissue is commonly known as body fat. It is found all over the body. It can be found under the skin (subcutaneous fat), packed around internal organs (visceral fat), between muscles, within bone marrow and in breast tissue.
Detailed explanation-3: -White Adipose Tissues (WAT) are mostly visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Major visceral depots common in both humans and rodents include epicardial/pericardial (not shown), perirenal (prWAT), retroperitoneal (rWAT), and mesenteric WAT (mWAT).
Detailed explanation-4: -The bottom layer is the hypodermis. It contains fat cells, or adipose tissue, that insulate the body and help conserve heat. Between the epidermis and hypodermis is the dermis.
