Triglycerides

Triglycerides as primarily used as a form of stored energy.

Region in terms of calorie cosumption and expenditure

This the region when calorie consumption ( carbs, fats or protein) exceeds the

calorie expenditure it causes the increase in the fat percentage in the body.

Function of adipose tissue

Adipose tissue also functions to protect vital organs from shock by accumulating as the visceral and abdominal fat

subcutaneous fat

The fat present below skin is called as the subcutaneous fat which prevents body from radiating heat and helps in maintain thermoregulation via insulation.
