calcium released by sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The ability of a muscle to contract and relax is dependent on the flow of calcium in and out of the muscle cell. Poor maternal intake of calcium increases the risk of hypertension in the adult offspring.
Muscle cells are specialized to contract and relax. They have several unique protein molecules (actin, myosin, etc.) that interlock and are responsive to the local concentration of calcium. When calcium levels go up (calcium is released from the modified SER), the muscle proteins contract. When the calcium levels go down (calcium is pumped back into the modified SER), the muscle proteins relax.
Chemical A, because if the cytoplasm is flooded with calcium, then the actin and myosin would slide into eachother, causing the muscle to contract.

A Nerve cell tells a muscle when to contract.
To contract when calcium ions are released into the muscle cell cytoplams.
Muscles cannot contract without calcium
Calcium is released from the sarcoplasm to bind with the troponin which allows the tropomyosin the reveal the binding sites on the actin so the muscle can contract
These work by picking up electrical signals that are released when the heart muscle cells contract.

No. Calcium does have a major role in muscle fibers when your muscles contract, but it is not the actual fiber.

No, humans need calcium to maintain strong bones and teeth, help muscles contract and nerves transmit signals, and support other critical functions in the body. A severe lack of calcium can lead to health issues like osteoporosis or muscle weakness.

Smooth Muscle contractions are regulated by calcium ions. The smooth muscle differs from skeletal muscle in that its contracts from all sides.
