Cramp = tetanic contraction of entire muscle
Tetany = continuous muscle contraction and convulsion due to calcium imbalance
Muscle fatigue causes = accumulation of lactic acid and ionic imbalance
Cramp causes = low blood sugar, electrolyte depletion, dehydration, irritability of spinal cord and neurons
Tetany causes = calcium imbalance
Tetany symptoms = muscle spasms, cramps, larynx spasms, paralysis, death if untreated
