| The ''Sarcoplasmic Reticulum ''is a specialized type of [[Endoplasmic Reticulum|endoplasmic reticulum]] that is found in the [[Cytoplasm|cytoplasm]] of [[Muscle|muscle]] cells <ref name="microbiology of the cell">Albert et al, molecular biology of the cell, fifth edition, Garland sciences, Newyork,</ref> in striated muscle fibres. The tubular structures surround the <u>[[Myofibrils|myofibrils]]</u> of the muscle cell and their function is to store [[Calcium|Ca]]<sup>[[Calcium|2+]] </sup>[[Ions|ions]], and release the [[Calcium|Ca]]<sup>[[Calcium|2+]]</sup> when triggered to by T-tubules <ref>Alberts et al, Molecular biology of the cell, Fifth edition, Garland science, Taylor and francis group, New York</ref>. This triggers contraction of the muscle via the <u>[[Sliding filament theory|sliding filament theory]]</u>''' <ref>Alberts et al,2008, Molecular biology of the cell, Fifth edition, Page 1026, New York, garland science.</ref> '''which occurs until the ''sarcoplasmic reticulum ''removes Ca<sup>2+.</sup>
