What are the Skeletal muscle cells that function in calcium storage?

Sarcoplasmic reticulum is the type of skeletal muscle cell that functions in calcium storage. It plays a critical role in regulating intracellular calcium levels during muscle contraction and relaxation.


Where is calcium stored in the muscle cell?

The sarcoplasmic reticulum is known for its storage of calcium ions in muscle cells.


What shape of cell is the smooth muscle?

Smooth muscle cell are spindle-shaped.


Is muscle cell is smooth when hungry?

No, "smooth" muscle is a type of muscle.


Why is the regulation of calcium levels so important?

So that the nervous and muscular systems can function properly. Calcium is essential to life, and is used primarily for three things: intracellular cell signaling, muscle cell contraction and nerve cell activity.


What is the shape of the smooth muscle?

Smooth muscle cell are spindle-shaped.


What chemical binds to the muscle cell memebrane causing a temporary rush of what into the muscle cell?

Acetylcholine binds to the muscle cell membrane, causing a temporary rush of calcium ions into the muscle cell. This influx of calcium triggers muscle contraction.


What does the smooth er do for the cell?

it stores calcium


Which muscle tissue has several nuclei per cell?

Smooth muscle tissue


After nervous stimulation of the muscle cell has ceased the calcium in the muscle?

The ability of a muscle to contract and relax is dependent on the flow of what?

The ability of a muscle to contract and relax is dependent on the flow of calcium ions. When a muscle is stimulated, calcium is released from storage sites within the muscle cell, allowing the muscle fibers to slide past each other and generate force. Removal of calcium from the muscle cell leads to relaxation of the muscle.


Which a has a single nucleus in each cell skeletal cardiac or smooth muscle tissue?

Smooth muscle tissue.
