Question

Which causes tetany in frog muscle?

Answer 1

Notably, muscle crampscaused by the disease tetanus are not classified as tetany; rather, they are due to a lack of inhibition to the neurons that supply muscles. Tetanic contractions (physiologic tetanus) are a broad range of muscle contraction types, of which tetany is only one.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The usual cause of tetany is a deficiency of calcium. An excess of phosphate (high phosphate-to-calcium ratio) can also trigger the spasms. ... Low levels of magnesium can lead to tetany.
