Radioactive element is an element whose nucleus  degenerate spontaneously due to the emission of alpha and beta particles, or gamma rays.

Radioactive elements are majorly comprise of Actinides.

Actinides also called actinoids, all are radioactive elements and release energy on radioactive decay. Uranium and thorium are naturally occurring whereas plutonium  are synthetic actinides which are most abundant actinides on Earth.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped

Explanation:

Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.
