Vitamin A: Deficiency can cause keratinization of epithelial tissues and night blindness due to changes in the retina.
Vitamin D: Deficiency can lead to rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, characterized by defective bone mineralization.
Zinc: Deficiency can impair wound healing and immune function due to changes in epithelial and lymphoid tissues.
