Chapter 8, Problem 31CQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The functions of the Ca2+ ions in the intracellular compartments.
Concept introduction:
The intracellular compartments are the space inside the cell that are separated from the extracellular compartment by a cell-membrane. The calcium pumps are present in the cell membrane of all the animal cells that help for the active transport of the calcium out of the cell in order to maintain the Ca2+
