If you are looking for the one hormone that does this, then the answer is parathyroid hormone (PTH), produced in the parathyroid glands.
A more technical description is given below:
Three hormones act in the body to increase blood calcium levels to normal. These hormones are 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcitonin that originate respectively from the liver and kidneys, parathyroid glands, and thyroid glands. The first, 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (active vitamin D3), serves to increase calcium absorption from the intestine. The second, PTH, dissolves bone into the blood. The third, calcitonin, prevents the bone-derived calcium from being resorbed ("reabsorbed") into the bone from which it came via PTH. To summarize, these three hormones act in concert to raise calcium levels via external and internal routes.

What is the hormone that activates Vitamin D on blood calcium levels?
Cholecalciferol is a steroid hormone that regulates body levels of calcium. It is a form of Vitamin D. Parathyroid hormone increases the concentration of calcium in the blood.
Is parathyroid hormone allows for the attachment of the tendons?
No. Parathyroid hormone increases the amount of calcium in your blood.
Which hormones increases the calcium levels in the blood?
Calcitonin - Thyroid Gland
What hormone regulates blood calcium levels?
Parathyroid glands secrete PTH (parathyroid hormone) to regulate blood calcium levels.
What hormone pairs are antagonists that regulate blood calcium ion levels?
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin regulate blood calcium levels. PTH increases the calcium concentration in the blood, and calcitonin decreases it.
What hormones are antagonists that regulate blood calcium ion levels?
parathyroid hormone/calcitonin
How does calcitonin and parathroid hormones work to control blood calcium levels and what are their targets?
Calcitonin is the other major hormone involved with calcium regulation. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), produced by the parathyroid gland, increases the level of calcium in the blood. It usually accomplishes this by increasing the resorption rate (taking back) from bone. Calcitonin does the exact opposite and reduces calcium in the blood. Calcitonin is produce in the thyroid gland and removes calcium in the blood primarily by putting calcium back into bone.
Glands or organs produces hormones that tend to decrease blood calcium levels?
The hormone calcitonin acts to reduce blood calcium
What hormones deal with the calcium levels in the blood?
Calcitonin, parathyroid hormone and vitamin D.
Which is greater when blood calcium levels when parathyroid hormone is increased or decreased?
When calcium levels increase, parathyroid hormone decreases. When calcium levels decrease, parathyroid hormone increases. This is known as a negative feedback system.
Which gland relates to the structure of calcium in blood?
The thyroid gland produces calcitonin which lowers blood calcium levels and the parathyroids produce parathyroid hormone which increases blood calcium levels.
When calcium blood levels fall a gland in the body releases a special hormone?
Its the hormone calcitonin. Calcitonin lowers calcium and phosphate and increases the excretion of these ions by the kidneys; whereas the parathyroid hormone increases the amount of calcium in the blood.
