Question

check all that apply

increased retinol synthesis

nerve damage

pancreatitis

impaired immune system function

blindness

acid reflux (heartburn)

Explanation:

Vitamin E is an antioxidant. Long - term deficiency can cause nerve damage as it is important for nerve health. It also impairs the immune system function as it helps in maintaining immune cell integrity. While blindness can occur in severe and very long - term cases (especially in those with fat - malabsorption issues affecting vitamin E uptake which is fat - soluble). Retinol synthesis is related to vitamin A. Pancreatitis is not a direct result of vitamin E deficiency. Acid reflux is related to gastrointestinal and acid - base balance issues, not vitamin E deficiency.

Answer:

nerve damage, impaired immune system function, blindness
