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.

devlian [24]
<span>The chemical elements</span><span> can be broadly divided into </span>metals<span>, </span>metalloids<span> and </span>nonmetals<span> according to their shared </span>physical<span> and </span>chemical properties<span>. All metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form </span>alloys<span> with other metals; and have at least one </span>basic oxide<span>. Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either </span>semiconductors<span> or exist in semiconducting forms, and have </span>amphoteric<span> or weakly </span>acidic oxides<span>. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are </span>brittle<span> when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides. Most or some elements in each category share a range of other properties; a few elements have properties that are either anomalous given their category, or otherwise extraordinary.</span>
