The gland which produces the hormone Calcitonin is the Thyroid. It is secreted in response to elevated blood calcium levels but only has a minor role in controlling calcium levels in humans.

The gland controlling hormones in the body is the pituatory gland
Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid linear polypeptide hormone which is secreted in human beings primarily by the parafollicular cells (also known as C-cells) of the thyroid, it regulates calcium levels in the body
the parathyroids gland
The body's calcium level is regulated by a gland in the endocrine system, it is called the Parathyroid Gland.
"The amount of calcium in the blood is regulated by two organs: thyroid and parathyroid glands. Each gland produces hormones by sensing the amount of calcium in the blood. When calcium is high in the blood, the thyroid gland produces calcitonin, which results in the removal of excess calcium from the blood. When calcium is low in the blood, the parathyroid gland produces parathyroid hormone, which causes the release of calcium from bone into the blood."
The parathyroid gland is responsible for increasing blood calcium levels by stimulating calcium re-absorption in the kidneys and activating vitamin D, which helps in calcium absorption in the intestines.
Tetany affects the parathyroid gland, which is responsible for producing parathyroid hormone (PTH). Low levels of PTH can lead to a disruption in calcium and phosphate balance in the body, resulting in symptoms like muscle spasms and cramps.
The various glands in the body work to regulate numerous body processes. The gland that works to regulate the homeostasis of calcium is called the parathyroid gland.
The parathyroid gland regulates the exchange of calcium between bones and blood by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH helps increase blood calcium levels by stimulating the release of calcium from bones and enhancing absorption of calcium in the intestines and kidneys.
The parathyroid gland is characterized by a low level of calcium in the blood serum and urine. This condition is known as hypoparathyroidism and is typically caused by an underproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates calcium levels in the body.
