The parathyroid hormone stimulates the absorption of calcium from the bone.
The parathyroid gland releases parathyroid hormone (PTH), which helps regulate calcium levels in the blood. PTH works to increase levels of calcium by promoting its release from bones, reabsorption in the kidneys, and absorption in the intestines.
The parathyroid hormone. Also called as parathormone. This hormone is secreted by parathyroid glands.

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.References: Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 23eKim E. Barrett, et. al.

Parathyroid hormone is a hormone secreted by the Parathyroid glands. It increases the concentration of calcium in the blood. It effects bone, kidney and intestine tissue.
No, parathyroid hormone is produced by the four parathyroid glands which are located on the posterior aspect of the thyroid gland.
The opponent or antagonist of calcitonin is the parathyroid hormone. The hormone is released from as polypeptide from the parathyroid glands.
Hyperparathyroidism is the condition of elevated parathyroid hormone.
