We have an internal skeleton and a grasshopper has an external skeleton.
The answer is "Tolerance only for cold climates". Hope it helped!
Striated muscles contain repeating sarcomeres of overlapping arrays of long, thin actin and thicker myosin filaments. Myosin filaments contains the myosin heads, which are enzymes that can bind to actin, split and make use of the energy from ATP. When muscle contraction starts, myosin heads bind to actin, change their configuration on actin, liberating the products of ATP hydrolysis and causing slide of the actin and myosin filaments. The action of the proteins troponin and tropomyosin on the actin filaments regulates vertebrae striated muscle contraction. The release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum is triggered by the nervous stimulation which causes depolarization of muscle membrane. Calcium ions bind to troponin and thus cause or allow the tropomyosin strands on the actin filament to move so that the part of the actin surface where myosin heads need to bind is uncovered. Contraction then occurs and only stops when the sarcoplasmic reticulum pumps calcium out of the muscle interior.
So basically, what triggers the uncovering of the myosin binding site on actin is the calcium ions binding to troponin and changing configuration.
The answer is Potassium.
Potassium and calcium play a critical role in both the prevention and treatment of hypertension. An increased intake of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium by dietary means has been shown to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension. This is because potassium lessens the effects of sodium.
