Troponin is attached to the protein tropomyosin and lies within the groove between actin filaments in muscle tissue. In a relaxed muscle, tropomyosin blocks the attachment site for the myosin crossbridge, thus preventing contraction. When the muscle cell is stimulated to contract by an action potential, calcium channels open in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and release calcium into the sarcoplasm. Some of this calcium attaches to troponin, causing a conformational change that moves tropomyosin out of the way so that the cross bridges can attach to actin and produce muscle contraction.

It is called callback function. For an example see the qsort function.
A function is not deigned in to another function. It is because that would lead to dependency injection.
yes, we can not declare a function in the body of another function. but if we declare a function in the body of another function then we can call that very function only in that particular function in which it is declared; and that declared function is not known to other functions present in your programme. So if a function is required in almost all functions of your programme so you must declare it outside the main function i.e in the beginning of your programme.
when we write definition of a function i.e; body of a function above main() function, then the function prototype be omitted. -Ramashankar Nayak,M.C.A,Pondicherry University
Troponin is a major component of muscle tissue. It is composed of troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T. Troponin interacts with tropomyosin and myosin to create muscle contraction.
It is involved in the regulation of the contraction of a cross-striated muscle.
The three parts to troponin are troponin C, which binds calcium ions, troponin I, which inhibits the interaction between actin and myosin, and troponin T, which anchors troponin complex to tropomyosin.
Troponin and tropomyosin are proteins involved in muscle contraction. Troponin binds calcium ions, causing a conformational change that shifts tropomyosin away from actin's binding sites, allowing myosin to attach and initiate contraction. This process is negated when calcium levels decrease, leading to troponin returning to its original shape and tropomyosin re-blocking the binding sites on actin, resulting in muscle relaxation.
The theraputic troponin level is 0.00.
Troponin testing is done to diagnose heart attacks (myocardial infarctions).
cardiac troponin I tests measure only cardiac troponin; tests for cardiac troponin T may cross-react with troponin found in other muscles and give positive or increased results in the absence of heart damage.
Troponin is a cardiac enzyme that your heart releases under stress.
Troponin is a protein complex found in skeletal and cardiac muscle fibers that plays a crucial role in muscle contraction. It regulates the interaction between actin and myosin, the two primary proteins involved in muscle contraction. When calcium ions bind to troponin, it causes a conformational change that moves tropomyosin away from the actin binding sites, allowing myosin to attach and initiate contraction. Additionally, troponin levels in the blood are often measured as a marker for heart damage, particularly in cases of myocardial infarction.
Actin and myosin
Both troponin T and I are cardiac markers used to diagnose myocardial infarctions.
