Scurvy, caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, primarily affects connective tissues, leading to symptoms like swollen and bleeding gums, joint pain, and weakened blood vessels. It can result in anemia due to impaired collagen synthesis, affecting skin health and wound healing. In severe cases, scurvy can lead to bone pain and increased susceptibility to infections. Overall, the body's inability to produce collagen results in widespread tissue damage and systemic health issues.
