Obviously,deficiency of PTH causes hypocalcaemic tetany as PTH is one of the most important regulator in maintainance of the cocentration of plasma Ca++.It increases the rate of bone resorption through potentiation of osteoclastic activity.It also increases the reabsorption of Ca++ from DCT through recruitment of more TRPV-5 channels.So,if due to any cause there is gross injury in parathyroids(mostly occurs during performing thyroidectomy operation),there is hypothyroidism followed by marked hypocalcaemia resultig in hypocalcaemic tetany.

Tetany is caused by?
Tetanus (Clostrudium tetani toxin) gets its name from its ability to cause tetany. The most common cause is low serum calcium levels which can be caused by parathyroid hormone or vitamin D deficiency. Hyperventilating or other acid-base problems can shift the binding of calcium and cause effectively low levels and tetany. Low magnesium and excess potassium can also do it.
What are the hormones produced in inadequate amounts that directly result in the following conidions tetany and loss of glucose in the urine?
The hormones produced in inadequate amounts that result in tetany and loss of glucose in the urine are parathyroid hormone (PTH) and insulin, respectively. Low levels of PTH can lead to tetany due to abnormal calcium levels, while inadequate insulin production can cause glucose to be excreted in the urine, leading to a condition known as glycosuria.
What are the key differences between tetany and tetanus, and how can they be distinguished from each other?
Tetany is a condition characterized by involuntary muscle contractions due to low levels of calcium in the blood, while tetanus is a bacterial infection that causes severe muscle stiffness and spasms. Tetany is typically caused by low calcium levels, while tetanus is caused by the bacteria Clostridium tetani. Tetany can be distinguished from tetanus by the presence of muscle twitching and spasms in tetany, while tetanus is characterized by more severe muscle stiffness and spasms.
What electrolyte imbalance causes numbness tingling tetany polyuria dehydration and arrhythmias?
Hypocalcemia, which is a low level of calcium in the blood, can lead to these symptoms. Calcium plays a crucial role in nerve function, muscle contraction, and heart rhythm. When levels are low, it can result in numbness, tingling, muscle cramps, dehydration, and irregular heartbeats.
What is Pseudohypoparathyroidism?
Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a condition caused by resistance to the parathyroid hormone. Patients have a low serum calcium and high phosphate, but the parathyroid hormone level is appropriately high.Type 1a pseudohypoparathyroidism has a characteristic phenotypic appearance (Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy), including short fourth and fifth metacarpals and a rounded facies.Type 1b pseudohypoparathyroidism lacks the physical appearance of type 1a, but is biochemically similar.The term pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism is used to describe a condition where the individual has the phenotypic appearance of pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a, but is biochemically normal.hypocalcemiahyperphosphatemiaelevated parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism) [1]1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudohypoparathyroidism
A deficiency of this gland causes hypocalcemic tetany?
Parathyroid
What hormone causes tetany?
it occurs when the PARATHYROID HOROMONE (PTH) falls to low.
A deficiency of parathyroid hormone can cause involuntary muscle contractions of a type called?
Tetany is the term for the muscle contractions that may be caused by hypoparathyroidism.
What hormone is responsible for tetany?
Tetany is caused by a disturbance of the blood calcium level. So you can say vitamin D (also considered a hormone) plays a role in it. Also, the parathyroid hormone level has a direct effect on calcium levels.
Does a deficiency of calcium in the body result in continuous muscle contractions or tetany?
dom
What is the hormone whose production in inadequate amounts results in tetany?
excess calcitonin or decreased parathormone
Is tetany caused by hyposecretion of the thyroid?
No, tetany is not typically caused by hyposecretion of the thyroid. Tetany is usually associated with low levels of calcium in the blood, which can be caused by factors such as hypoparathyroidism or vitamin D deficiency. Hypothyroidism, on the other hand, results from the underproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland.

Name of disease which causes muscle stiffness?
tetany
What causes tetany?
it occurs when the PARATHYROID HOROMONE (PTH) falls to low.
Why the calcium decrease creates convulsion?
Since calcium deficiency causes the neurons to be depolarized easily, and thus repetitive depolarization occurs which will lead to accumulation of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction and can cause repetitive muscle contractions which can progress to tetany
What disorder is caused by a magnesium deficiency and has the greatest chance of occurring when cows are under stress in cold wet conditions?
Grass tetany
