Tetany
Definition:
(n.) A morbid condition resembling tetanus, but distinguished from it by being less severe and having intermittent spasms.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is shown from an analysis of the transient force responses observed after sudden changes in muscle length applied both at full and reduced overlap and during the rising phase of short tetani that these responses can be explained on the basis of varying numbers of cross bridges attached at the time of the length step.
(2) The existence of such an effect also in the present preparation was studied by giving 'interrupted' tetani with a total duration of about 2 s. In rested fibres the mean rate of relaxation was found to fall from 140.9 to 71.8% (n = 11) of the control (end of 350 ms stimulation) with a time constant of about 0.5 s. Thus, a marked slowing during a long tetanus occurs also in mammalian muscle.
