define rigor mortis and explain the molecular mechanisms that cause rigor mortis
Rigor Mortis means stiffness after death. Rigor mortis is caused by the leakage of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum after death. The calcium ions bind to the troponin complex which moves the tropomyosin complex off of the actin thin filaments allowing the myosin heads to bind to the thin filaments. The myosin heads undergo one round of contraction and remain attached to the actin filaments because ATP is not present to release the cross-bridges.
explain how the chemical weapon VX affects neuromuscular junctions
The chemical weapon affects the neuromuscular junction by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine and causes a continuous stimulation (depolarization) of the post-synaptic membrane.
