Calcium ion concentration in the blood affects muscle contraction. Does it lead to tetany in certain cases? How will you correlate fluctuation in blood calcium with tetany?
Yes, in certain cases calcium ion concentration in the blood leads to tetany. Calcium plays a significant role in muscle contraction. The parathyroid gland secretes
parathyroid hormones, which increases the concentration of Ca2+ ions in the bloodstream. The deficiency of this hormone can cause the drop in the concentration of the
calcium in the blood and this would result in the excitability in the nerves.
