Question
Chapter 7.6, Problem 18WDYL
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The flowchart related to the activation of the calcitriol, the molecules associated with each step, and the location where the activation of each molecule occurs.
Introduction:
Calcitriol is one of the hormones that regulate the homeostasis between the calcium levels in blood and bone. This is the active form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). The main function of vitamin D is to promote the absorption of calcium.
