explain how calcium is regulated by the endocrine system
True, blood calcium is very tightly regulated there are two types of bone cells that will either take up excess calcium if blood levels get too high or break down bone to release calcium if blood levels get to low. Both of these bone cells are controlled by the endocrine system in the body.

the urinary system filters waste from blood
The baroreceptor is part of the autonomic nervous system. It increases actions regulated by the nervous system, such as heart rate and blood pressure.
Endocrine glands. This is the basis of your endocrine system which secretes hormones into the blood stream directly without using ducts.
The body's calcium level is regulated by a gland in the endocrine system, it is called the Parathyroid Gland.

I think that you are thinking of hormones (chemicals) and these are regulated by the endocrine system.
Ionic calcium: Calcium absorption is closely related to blood levels of ionic calcium. It is locally regulated by the active form of Vitamn D, which promotes active calcium absorption. pg 900 Anatomy Book
hormones from the endocrine system are transported through blood
calcium
The parathyroid gland is characterized by a low level of calcium in the blood serum and urine. This condition is known as hypoparathyroidism and is typically caused by an underproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates calcium levels in the body.
Calcitonin works with the hormone parathyroid hormone (PTH) to regulate calcium levels in the blood and tissues. Calcitonin helps reduce blood calcium levels by inhibiting bone breakdown and promoting calcium excretion by the kidneys. PTH, on the other hand, works to increase blood calcium levels by stimulating bone breakdown and enhancing calcium reabsorption by the kidneys.
endocrine system
yes
The Parathyroid glands are situated on posterior side of thyroid gland. They are responsible for increasing the level of calcium ions in blood.
The endocrine system and the nervous system are the two systems of the body involved in the indirect communication of cells. The endocrine system releases hormones into the bloodstream to target distant cells, while the nervous system uses neurotransmitters to send signals across synapses to adjacent cells.
