The more technical term for body fat is adipose tissue, with individual cells being called adipocytes. In humans, the primary type of fat cell is called white adipose tissue (WAT), named because of its colour. While there is another type of fat, called brown adipose tissue (BAT), it’s generally been thought that humans didn’t have much BAT and hence it could be ignored. [1]
