| | tetany - definition of tetany in Encyclopedia |
 | | Tetany can be demonstrated by applying quick electrical charges to the skin close to where a nerve lies (such as by the elbow near the ulnar nerve). | | | Tetany is the point at which signals from nerves (action potentials) are arriving to skeletal muscle rapidly enough in succession to cause a steady contraction, and not just a series of individual twitches. | | | If these charges are coming once a second, the hand muscles (which the ulnar nerve supplies) will flex once a second. |
