Best Answer

In the fast response action potential of cardiac muscle, the sarcolemma rapidly depolarizes and reaches a plateau. In the plateau phase, Ca2+ released by the glycocalyx comes into the muscle cell from the extracellular fluid. This Ca2+ is called "trigger Ca2+" because it induces the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

What happens to calcium if there is not enough vitamin d to absorb it?

When calcium is needed, the parathyroid gland sends the parathyroid hormone to the kidneys to trigger the production of vitamin D (which is actually classified as a hormone). The vitamin D hormone, in turn, prompts the intestines to transfer calcium from food to the blood. When calcium intake is too small to support normal functions, both vitamin D and the parathyroid hormone trigger a process in which stored calcium is mobilized from the bones.
