Low calcium level will cause_____________?
Correct answer: B. All of the above
- A. Hyper excitability of wrist muscle
- B. All of the above
- C. Tetanus
- D. Weak heart action
Explanation
Hypocalcaemia increases neuronal and muscle membrane excitability, causing tetany or carpopedal spasm, and can reduce myocardial contractility. Thus all listed effects are possible, although “tetanus” is more accurately termed tetany here.
