In muscle contraction, the calcium allow the actin,myosin, and ATP to interact :arrow: contraction= the Ca is important for the contraction :arrow: no Ca= no contraction
Now, how do you explain the hypocalcemic tetany??Hypo Ca :arrow: Tetany???
Thanks for explaining

Hypocalcemia decreases threshold for action potential, It is not intracellular calcium that was depleted.... i hope
