Low ionized calcium levels in the extracellular fluid increase the permeability of neuronal membranes to sodium ion, causing a progressive depolarization, which increases the possibility of action potentials.

(C) Myasthenia gravis - (1) -It is an autoimmune disorder which may lead to paralysis in muscles -It is mainly due to the decrease in the number of acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junctions due to an antibody-mediated immune attack(autoimmune disorder).
