Vitamin D comes from two sources. It is made in the skin through direct exposure to sunlight, and it comes from the diet. The body's ability to produce vitamin D from exposure to sunlight and to absorb calcium and vitamin D decreases with age. Getting enough vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and also helps the kidneys break down and incorporate (resorb) calcium that would otherwise be excreted.
Skin functions include protection of the deeper tissue from chemicals, bacteria, bumps, and drying; regulation of body temperature through radiation and sweating; and synthesis of defensive proteins and vitamin D. The cutaneous sensory receptors are located in the skin. Melanin, a pigment produced by melanocytes, protects the nuclei of epithelial cells from damaging rays of the sun (Figure 4.1). 2  Dermis The dermis is composed of dense connective tissue. 3  It is the site of blood vessels, nerves, and epidermal appendages.
