How does subcutaneous adipose tissue assist the body to regulate its temperature? 

  1. It conducts heat more readily than lean tissue so promotes heat loss.
  2. It stores heat energy so acts like a “heat sink”.
  3. It produces sweat for secretion via sweat glands.
  4. It conducts heat less readily than lean tissue so insulates the body.
