How decreased blood supply effect muscle activity?
Decreased blood supply in the muscle can cause anoxia then paralysis.
Decreased blood flow to cardiac muscle that only injures the tissue creates a condition known as what?
Myocardial infarction is the decreased blood flow to cardiac muscle that only injures the tissue.
What is the medical term meaning decreased parathyroid activity?
Hypoparathyroidism is the medical term for decreased parathyroid activity, leading to low levels of parathyroid hormone and calcium in the blood, which can result in symptoms like muscle cramps, tingling sensations, and seizures. Treatment often involves calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
What is calcium channel blockers?
A calcium channel blocker is a drug that lowers blood pressure by either preventing calcium from entering cells of the cardiac muscle, or the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessel walls.
What is a calcium channel blocker?
Calcium channel blockers are medicines that slow the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels.
Decreased blood calcium levels would result in?
When blood calcium levels are low, it means that calcium is not being reabsorbed in the intestine or released from the bones. This could lead to uncontrollable twitching, known as a disorder called tetany, caused by low blood calcium levels.
What medical term means abnormally low concentration of calcium in the blood?
Calcium is important for healthy bone and tooth. But excessive presence of calcium in blood may cause some problems, such as tiredness, loss of appetite, vomiting.etc. It may also cause diarrhea leading to dehydration and thirst. Sometime with high calcium in blood may cause confusion and a person may become unconscious. High calcium level in blood may indicate excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone which should be treated. High calcium in blood also indicate bone disease. Excessive drinking of milk and frequent intake of antacids can increase calcium level in blood.
What is the effect of calcitonin and parathyroid hormone?
Calcitonic and Parathamon decrease calcium level.Phosphate level is decreased by calcitonin.Parathon increase it.
What are the symptoms of tetany?
Tetany is a group of symptoms seen when a person has low blood calcium (hypocalcemia).There are a number of symptoms which can lead to this diagnosis, but a physician needs to be consulted for an accurate diagnosis.Some of the symptoms would be:tingling lipsburning lipstingling tongueburning tonguepainful facial muscle spasmstingling fingersburning fingerspainful hand muscle spasmstingling feetburning feetpainful foot muscle spasmspainful muscle spasms
What is done by calcium channel blockers?
Calcium channel blockers block the entry of calcium into muscle cells in artery walls. Muscle cells need calcium to constrict, so reducing their calcium keeps them more relaxed and lowers blood pressure.
Under which condition can pastures be responsible for milk fever in dairy cows?
An excess amount of calcium-rich plants like alfalfa can cause milk fever because blood calcium levels can be quickly decreased enough that the cow is unable to draw calcium from her bones to make up for the decreased levels, causing her to go into depression due to very low blood calcium levels.
What physiological processes depend on calcium ions in the blood?
muscle contaction nerve conduction clotting of blood enzyme functioning intracellular signaling - calcium is a second messenger
