Final answer:

The calcium ions are stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum inside a muscle cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

In muscle cells, a specialized smooth endoplasmic reticulum called the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is responsible for storing calcium ions that are needed to trigger the coordinated contractions of the muscle cells.
