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.

Which hormone released by the highlighted structure inhibits the secretion of fsh only inhibin?
qwelly [4]

Inhibin hormone released by the highlighted structure inhibits the secretion of FSH only.

<h3>What is inhibin hormone?</h3>
  • A protein called inhibin is secreted by the granulosa cells in women and the Sertoli cells in men.
  • It decreases the amount of LH-releasing hormone in the hypothalamus and prevents the pituitary gland from producing and releasing follicle-stimulating hormone.
  • Inhibin is a factor in the feedback control of FSH secretion in both males and females going through puberty.
  • Follistatin suppresses FSH-subunit expression like inhibin, whereas activin enhances it, which in turn influences FSH production and secretion.
  • Inhibin A is secreted by the corpora lutea and dominant ovarian follicles in women, which helps to explain why levels are so high during the late follicular and luteal stages.
  • During the late luteal and early follicular phases of the menstrual cycle, inhibin B is reciprocally raised.
