endocrine system
Ultraviolet A (long wavelength) initiates production of vitamin D and melanin (tanning). Ultraviolet B (short wavelength) damages the skin causing sunburns and in some cases cancers.
Vitamin D production is triggered by exposure to UVB rays, which are absorbed by the skin. In the integumentary system, the skin acts as a barrier between the external environment and the body, and it plays a crucial role in synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy skin, bones, and immune function.
True, provided you are exposed to the sun. Sunlight enables your body to make vitamin D. For this reason, vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin.
The term "vitamin D" refers to several different forms of this vitamin. ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Vitamin D2 synthesized by plants. Vitamin D3 is synthesized by humans in the skin. D is the fourth letter in the Latin alphabet and the vitamin D was the fourth vitamin discovered.
Sunlight helps the human body to manufacture vitamin D. In that sense one can say that solar radiation contributes to vitamin D. It does not have vitamin D, though.
Your skin is responsible for synthesis of Vitamin D.
No, it does not produce vitamin D.
Sunlight creates vitamin d in the body...
it creates vitamin D which is healthy for your bones.
The absorption of UV light into the skin converts a precursor molecule into vit. D

No you are not required to fast before taking a vitamin D 25 blood test. This test determines the amount of Vitamin D a person has in their system.
