Question

Rigor mortis means

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rigor mortis refers to the natural stiffening of the body and limbs after death due to the depletion of ATP and buildup of lactic acid in muscles. It typically occurs within a few hours after death and disappears within 24-48 hours. It is not a procedure done by a mortician nor does it indicate that the heart has stopped. While rigor mortis may occur shortly after death, the timing of death is not directly related to the onset of rigor mortis.
