**Step-by-step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Tetany**: Tetany is a condition characterized by increased excitability of neurons, which leads to involuntary muscle contractions. This condition can cause painful muscle spasms. 2. **Identifying the Cause**: The increased excitability of neurons in tetany is primarily due to an imbalance in certain electrolytes in the body. One of the key electrolytes involved in muscle contraction and nerve function is calcium. 3. **Recognizing the Role of Calcium**: Calcium ions play a crucial role in muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release at synapses. A decrease in calcium levels can lead to heightened nerve excitability and muscle spasms. ...
