Adipose tissue is a specialized connective tissue composed of lipid-rich cells called adipocytes. As it contains roughly 20-25 percent of total body weight in healthy persons, the main purpose of adipose tissue is to store energy in the form of lipids (fat).
Osseous tissue forms bones that allow the body to move by providing attachment sites for muscles and tendons to connect to. It also functions as structural support for the body’s interior structures, protects organs and tissues from harm, and serves as a site of mineral storage.
Elastic cartilage is identified by its dull yellow color. Its function is to change the shape of the cartilage in response to tension, compression, and bending before returning to its at-rest condition. It can be found in specific locations, primarily in the pinnae (or auricles) of the outer ear, where it helps to shape the folds that efficiently route sound waves towards the inner ear, as well as in the ear canal.
The image is a poster about connective tissue used in medical histology. It shows drawings of adipose tissue, osseous tissue, and elastic cartilage to illustrate their basic structures.
Osseous tissue- are more solid in the outside structure and spongy inside Adipose tissue- Due to adipose tissue containing the body's energy reserve in cases where the body is not in taking enough calories (unit of energy), the adipose tissue looks bloated and balloon like to contain these reserves. Elastic Cartilege- looks like it has many fiber extensions making it elastic and easy to move
Adipose tissue is composed of large, round cells called adipocytes, each containing a small nucleus pushed to the periphery. These cells primarily function in fat storage and help provide insulation and cushioning to protect the body.

As I have observed, Adipose tissue are made up of large circular cells. In these cells, it is where lipid or fat is stored.
