Abstract.  The present paper is concerned with a calcium model of muscle at rest and a dynamical analysis of it. We show that the model is well-posed; that is, the solution representing the state of the model inside a special pyramid never leaves it as time evolves. Moreover, an analysis of its steady states is given.
Keywords: Calcium model of muscle at rest; steady state; exponential stability; Routh-Hurwitz Theorem.
