Best Answer
Troponin complex will return to its normal configuration and cover the actin binding site on tropomyosin thus preventing further interaction between the actin and myosin filaments, and contraction ends.

What bridge forms between Calcium ions?

Calcium bridges form between muscle cells. The calcium ions bind to troponin-tropomyosin molecules in the grooves of actin filaments and form crossbridges.


What helps the muscular system to work?

Although the heart pumps blood with the ions of calcium necessary for the contraction and the brain sends the electrical signals for contraction the muscular systems mainly needs calcium ions for contraction and that the proteins that make up its cell work properly (myosin and actin and other filaments in the sarcomeres.
