Muscle cells have an abundant, modified smooth ER called the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

The release and reuptake of Ca2+ by the sarcoplasmic reticulum trigger myofibril contraction and relaxation, respectively

Function of the ER:

most eukaryotic cells is to sequester Ca2+ from the cytosol (High concentration of Ca2+-binding proteins in the ER facilitates Ca2+ storage)
