Calcium is actually the main cation (positively charged ion) responsible for muscle contraction. Most people think it is Sodium or Potassium. Sodium is an anion (negatively charged ion) which controls your body's saturation (all the way down to the cellular level) and also aids in transporting minerals. What happens when you are dehydrated? Your muscles cramp up. Potassium is a cation which creates electricity.
In muscle movement, sodium and potassium create a channel in which sodium rushes in and potassium rushes out causing the muscle fiber membrane to become more positively charged, triggering an action. This ultimately would not be possible without calcium, which starts the whole process. For more information check out the following link.

References: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction | ^ Dude... the reference is wrong. I'm no chemistry major, but I've taken enough science courses to know that Sodium is also a positively charged ion (Na+). Plus the sodium from the salt, is just causing depolarization and yeah...you get the whole action potential thing going along.

In invertebrate smooth muscle, contraction is initiated with calcium directly binding to myosin and then rapidly cycling cross-bridges generating force. Similar to vertebrate tonic smooth muscle there is a low calcium and low energy utilization catch phase. This sustained phase or catch phase has been attributed to a catch protein that is similar to myosin light chain kinase and titin called twitchin.
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction -same reference page as static
Calcium binds to myosin and generates a force causing twitching.
Calcium is a +2positive charge cation
Sodium is a +1positive charge cation
maybe any positively charged cation can cause twitching in invertabrate smooth muscle
also note that table salt is (NaCl) the Cl is chloride and not Calcium

It doesn't work with just frog bits you know. 
I admit I was actually expecting them to shrivel up like slugs instead.  | |
