Vitamin A helps form and maintain healthy teeth, bones, soft tissue, mucus membranes, and skin. Night blindness is an early sign of vitamin A deficiency, followed by abnormal dryness of the eye and ultimately scarring of the cornea.

Excess fat-soluble vitamins typically accumulate in the Answer 1. liver 2. muscle 3. small intestine 4. pancreas
Weegy: C. small intestine Because they dissolve in fat, vitamins A, D, E, and K are called fat-soluble vitamins. [ They are absorbed from the small intestines, along with dietary fat, which is why fat malabsorption resulting from various diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) is associated with poor absorption of these vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins are primarily stored in the liver and adipose tissues. With the exception of vitamin K, fat-soluble vitamins are generally excreted more slowly than water-soluble vitamins, and vitamins A and D can accumulate and cause toxic effects in the body. ] User: True or false? High doses of niacin can cause an uncomfortable flushing reaction of the face and arms, along with headache, blurred vision, and, in severe cases, liver damage. Answer True False (More)
