Q

Where is calcium stored?

A

Calcium is stored in cells in a structure called the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a form of smooth muscle endoplasmic reticulum (ER) found in skeletal and cardiac muscle that functions as a regulator of Ca2+ storage and releases homeostasis during and after muscle contraction
