Description: This template traces vitamin D metabolism from UVB-driven synthesis of vitamin D3 in the skin, through hydroxylation in the liver and kidney to form active 1,25(OH)2D, and its regulation by parathyroid hormone in response to calcium levels. It also shows how active vitamin D and PTH act on intestinal calcium absorption and on osteoblasts and osteoclasts to control bone formation and resorption.
