The gland that releases calcium when it drops is the parathyroid gland. When blood calcium levels decrease, the parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH), which stimulates the release of calcium from bones, increases calcium reabsorption in the kidneys, and enhances intestinal absorption of calcium. This process helps maintain calcium homeostasis in the body.
