Parathormone released by the parathyroid gland elevates the level of Ca2+ in blood. The deficiency of this hormone lowers blood Ca2+. As a result, the excitability of muscles and nerves increases causing tetany -sustained contraction.

ATPase enzyme is located in the myosin cross bridge heads. Actin forms the light or I- Band. Actin slides over myosin during contraction. Troponin protein is involved in establishing connection with myosin cross bridges. Actin is not involved in muscle contraction. It is also an ATPase (an enzyme) which is activated by Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. Hence, ATPase enzyme is located in myosin.
