So, what happened to this "human spirit" at Calvary and after the resurrection of Jesus? Is the "human spirit" still residing in the glorified body of Jesus?

The human spirit of Jesus and the Spirit of God are in an unexplainable and inseparable spiritual union. Thus, the Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of God are one. When the Spirit of Christ is present, the Spirit of God is present. They can be distinguished from one another Christologically... but not separated experientially. The man Jesus Christ still exists, glorified, and elevated to the right hand of power and glory in Heaven. Even in the book of Revelation Jesus speaks of His Father in a manner that continues the distinction as it relates to these distinct modes of being.
