Striation Patterns of Ox Muscle in Rigor Mortis
نویسنده
چکیده
Ox muscle in rigor mortis offers a selection of myofibrils fixed at varying degrees of contraction from sarcomere lengths of 3.7 to 0.7 micro. A study of this material by phase contrast and electron microscopy has revealed four distinct successive patterns of contraction, including besides the familiar relaxed and contracture patterns, two intermediate types (2.4 to 1.9 micro, 1.8 to 1.5 micro) not previously well described.

Changes in phosphate compounds during the development and maintenance of rigor mortis.
Rigor mortis was induced in frog sartorii from female Rana pipiens by incubating the isolated muscles in 0.38 mr.x 2,4dinitrofluorobenzene Ringer’s (frog) solution for 90 min at 0”. This compound completely inhibits adenosine triphosphatecreatine phosphotransferase in viva and eventually induces rigor mortis as characterized by shortening of the muscle to 50% of its rest length and the developm...
متن کاملAssessment of Mechanical Properties of Muscles from Multi-Parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging
We hypothesized that a relationship existed between the mechanical properties and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters of muscles, as already demonstrated in cartilaginous tissues. The aim was to develop an indirect evaluation tool of the mechanical properties of degenerated muscles. Leg and arm muscles of adult rabbits were dissected, and tested 12 hours post mortem, in a state of r...
متن کاملTraceability of rigor mortis of muscle using a texture analyzer: a feasibility study
Rigor mortis is one of the most important changes of muscle at earlier time postmortem, which ultimately affects meat palatability. However, there seems no efficient way to track the whole process of rigor mortis continuously and automatically. This study is designed to explore a new method to realize the traceability of the onset and development of rigor mortis of muscles using a texture analy...
متن کاملInfluence of Temperature on Development of Rigor Mortis in Dog Hearts.
• The effects of temperature on the development of rigor mortis in cardiac muscle have never been investigated systematically. Brecher and Kissen found that pressure-volume characteristics of non-beating, submerged dog ventricles remained constant for at least 30 minutes following circulatory arrest at 35°C. Using similar methods, Griggs et al. found this period to be approximately 80 minutes a...
متن کاملCASE REPORT “Rigor Mortis” in a Live Patient
Rigor mortis is conventionally a postmortem change. Its occurrence suggests that death has occurred at least a few hours ago. The authors report a case of “Rigor Mortis” in a live patient after cardiac surgery. The likely factors that may have predisposed such premortem muscle stiffening in the reported patient are, intense low cardiac output status, use of unusually high dose of inotropic and ...
