Solution

Tetany is a medical condition identified by muscular spasms because of involuntary contractions of muscles. It could be the result of malfunctioning of the parathyroid glands and a consequent deficiency of calcium. Other physiological conditions that increase the action potential frequency of muscle cells or the nerves that innervate muscles could also be responsible for tetany.
