Doubt by Anand Jat

Sir in this particular video you told that, when the muscle relaxation happen the calcium is removed from the troponin c by the use of ATP and get back into the sarcoplasm, after this you have told that sarcoplasmic reticulum actively reuptake and the calcium Ion into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, what is the meaning of actively reuptake and what is the meaning of activity here, does it mean that the calcium is Re up taken into sarcoplasmic reticulum by the use of energy by the breaking of ATP into ADP thank you sir

When a muscle cell is given the signal to contract from its associated nerves, it releases a flood of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, that surrounds the bundles of actin and myosin filaments. The calcium ions rapidly spread and bind to tropomyosins on the actin filaments.

Powered by ATP, The calcium pump on the membrane pumps calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, reducing the calcium level around the actin and myosin filaments and allowing the muscle to relax.
