Contractions can occur in striated muscle as long as Ca2+ is present in the cytosol. As cytosolic levels of free Ca2+ decrease, so does the ability for myosin to form cross-bridges with actin. This leads to relaxation of the muscle. You have found a novel muscle and are trying to determine if its relaxation processes are regulated in a manner analogous to vertebrate striated muscle. Describe some of the features of Ca2+ regulation that you would expect to see in this novel muscle.
