The Sun gives off light.
The body uses light to convert 7-dehydrocholesterol into pre-vitamin D3. Pre-vitamin D3 forms in to cholecalciferol, vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is brought to the liver were it forms 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Finally, it is brought to the kidney to form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, the active form of vitamin D.

How does vitamin D production play a part in the integumentary system?
the keratinocytes in the epidermal, when it exposed to UV light produce vitamin D
If you stay out of the sun what will happen?
Production of melanin in the skin decreases; so does production of vitamin D.
Which vitamin do you get from the sun?
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.
