Hypocalcemia can result from the following factors:
- Lack of vitamin D or vitamin D resistance
- post-surgery, hypoparathyroidism
- due to autoimmune illness or hereditary causes of hypoparathyroidism
- Inadequate vitamin D levels are brought on by renal disease or advanced liver disease.
- Hypoparathyroidism, also known as pseudohypoparathyroidism
- Parathyroid gland metastatic growth or heavy metal (copper, iron) invasion
Acute hypocalcemia is characterised by neuromuscular irritability. Cardiovascular symptoms of acute hypocalcemia are possible. Chronic hypocalcemia is frequently brought about by insufficient parathyroid hormone or vitamin D levels or by hormone resistance.
The right course of treatment depends on knowing the difference between acute and chronic hypocalcemia and between hypocalcemia with no symptoms and hypocalcemia with severe symptoms.

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.
Agonists activate the receptor thereby <u>increasing</u> activity at the synapse while antagonists generally prevent agonists from activating the receptors thereby <u>decreasing</u> activity at the synapse.
- An agonist is the component that has the ability to increase the activity carried out by another substance.
- The agonists work from their faculty of coupling to a cell-type receptor, in this way, they manage to generate a certain action in the cell.
- The antagonists are the compounds that cause the opposite when they bind to the receptor, they cause a blockade by decreasing the activation of a synaptic receptor.
Therefore, we can conclude that agonists are compounds capable of increasing the action of synapse and blockers (antagonists) decrease activity at the synapse.
