You are probably referring to the popularly known hormone estrogen which has a function in the absorption of calcium. However, the process is complex and involves a number of lesser known hormones such as calcitonine and PTH, and also vitamins D and K.

How do parathryoid glands maintain adequate levels of calcium?
Parathyroid gland secrete parathyroid hormone called PTH. PTH regulates calcium level in the body by transferring calcium from the bone and when body has excess calcium, PTH helps them to deposit into the bone.
What are the main functions of the parathyroid gland?
The parathyroid gland produces parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates the blood calcium level. When blood calcium is low, PTH is secreted and stimulates the digestion of bone tissue by osteoclasts, this releases calcium from the bone into the bloodstream. Calcitonin has the opposite effect of PTH, and is released from the thyroid gland when blood calcium is too high.
The hormone related to the lack of calcium of bone tissue is called?
That hormone is vitamin D.
What hormone causes calcium to be deposited in bone?
calcitonin and PTH
What hormone causes calcium to be released from the bone into the bloodstream?
PTH
What gland and hormone stimulates the deposition of calcium into the bone?
The parathyroid hormone stimulates the absorption of calcium from the bone.
What is the function of parathyroid hormone?
PTH is secreted by the parathyroid glands (which are attached to your thyroid) and acts on bone (via increased bone resorption) , the kidneys (via increased reabsorption of calcium) and the intestine (increased calcium absorption by increased levels of activated vitamin D) to increase blood calcium levels.
What is The hormone that helps remove calcium from the blood and store it in bone?
Calcitonin.
What are bone cells that respond to the parathyroid hormone to destroy bone matrix and release calcium into the blood?
An osteoclast.
What is the most important control of calcium homeostasis?
1. The parathyroids 2. Parathyroid hormone and vitamin D (which is actually a hormone) When working correctly the parathyroids, of which there are 4, keep around 90% of the body's calcium in the bones and teeth and the remaining 10% in the bloodstream.
Bone resorption is promoted by which hormone?
Bone resorption is promoted by the parathyroid hormone, also called PTH. Bone resorption is the process by which osteoclasts break down bone and release the minerals, resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone fluid to the blood.
Which one is the main primary target tissue of Parathyroid hormone the kidney or bones?
The main primary target tissue of the Parathyroid hormone is the bone, but the kidneys are a target as well.
