Mips code

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out what some lines in my compiled code are. I have
looked on google, but can't be asking the right questions there. What are the
following mips .. doing:

lw$25,%call16(SwapElements)($28);
jalr $25

(I can see load word to register $25, and a call to SwapElements, I assume the
return address is going to be stored in $28?, But I dont understand exactly
what %call16 means)

and
.cprestore16

(here I have no idea whatsoever is being done)

TIA
