Vitamin E is distributed through what tissue
A
Skin
B
Bone
C
Fatty
D
Muscle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin. Your body stores vitamin E in fatty tissue and the liver.

Detailed explanation-2: -In brief, vitamin E is absorbed in the intestine, packaged into chylomicrons together with other lipophilic molecules, and distributed via lymph and blood in the body. As the liver is the central organ in lipoprotein metabolism, it is also essential for the uptake, distribution, metabolism, and storage of vitamin E.

Detailed explanation-3: -The presence of vitamin E is of key importance in cellular membranes rich in highly unsaturated fatty acids such as DHA and arachidonic acid (AA), which are found in high concentrations in the brain, the retina and some other locations.

Detailed explanation-4: -As vitamin E is primarily stored in adipose tissue (about 90% of the body’s total vitamin E content[19]), vitamin E deficiency is almost unknown under normal physiological conditions[19].
