AnswerThe parathyroid regulates calcium by producing hormones that cause calcium levels to increase.Also, calcitonin is a substance that regulates calcium in the blood.
Calcium ions are required for a lot functions in our body. First of all, it is required for proper mineralization of bones & teeth. Calcium is an important factor for blood coagulation which helps to prevent bleeding when a blood vessel is damaged. It helps in transmission of nerve signal by releasing neurotransmiter from nerve endings. An increase in intracellular calcium concentration is required for muscle contraction, it also helps in secretory activity of diffent gland like secretion of insulin from pancreas.
Endocrine glands secrete chemicals called hormones directly into the bloodstream, influencing the activity of the muscles and organs.
The secret of the gull's ability to survive drinking salt water lies in a pair of glands in the head, but their function was not eluciadated until a few years ago. Each gland consists of thousands of minute tubes arranged like the bristles on a bottle brush. Where the handle of the brush would be is a central tube communicating with the nasal cavity. A rich supply of fine blood vessels surrounds the gland, which extracts the salt from the blood.

Parathyroid
"The amount of calcium in the blood is regulated by two organs: thyroid and parathyroid glands. Each gland produces hormones by sensing the amount of calcium in the blood. When calcium is high in the blood, the thyroid gland produces calcitonin, which results in the removal of excess calcium from the blood. When calcium is low in the blood, the parathyroid gland produces parathyroid hormone, which causes the release of calcium from bone into the blood."
Parathyroid
The answer to this is the Parathyroid. The Parathyroid acts to maintain calcium levels in the blood. Thus, if there is a irregularity in the calcium levels, there is also most likely an irregularity in the Parathyroid.
The thyroid gland produces calcitonin. The parathyroid gland produces PTH. Both hormones work together to regulate the amount of clcium in the blood and tissues.
The thyroid gland produces calcitonin which lowers blood calcium levels and the parathyroids produce parathyroid hormone which increases blood calcium levels.
The body's calcium level is regulated by a gland in the endocrine system, it is called the Parathyroid Gland.
