Best Answer

the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released by the parathyroid gland (located behind the thyroid gland). A decrease in blood calcium causes the parathyroid gland to secrete PTH which causes the bones to release more calcium to raise blood calcium and also causes the kidneys to decrease the amount of calcium lost in urine
