  Rigor mortis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rigor mortis is a recognizable sign of death that is caused by a chemical change in the muscles, causing the limbs of the corpse to become stiff ("rigor") and impossible to move or manipulate.
The biochemical cause of rigor mortis is hydrolysis of ATP in the muscle tissue, the chemical energy source required for movement.
The onset of rigor mortis and its resolution determines the tenderness of meat.

 Decomposition: What is rigor mortis?
Rigor mortis is the state a body reaches when the oxygen supply to the muscles ceases but the cells continue to respire anaerobically (without oxygen).
Rigor mortis ceases as the body cells die, enzymes are released and the cells decompose.
During rigor mortis, the tissues are acidic because of the lactic acid and this makes them unpalatable to fly larvae.

 dying and death
Rigor mortis is Latin for "stiffness of death".
Rigor mortis wears off as the tissues begin to decompose - proteolytic enzymes in the lysosomes of the muscle cells escape and begin to dissolve the myofilaments.
Thus, when rigor affects the orbicularis muscles shortly afterwards, the force of contraction they produce is not enough to overcome the stiffness of the levator muscles and the eyes remain open.

 Rigor mortis -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Typically rigor sets in several hours after clinical death and subsides spontaneously in about two days, though the time of its onset and duration depends on ambient temperature.
The average, assuming mild temperatures, is about 3-4 hours post-death for onset, with full rigor being in effect at about 12 hours, and eventually subsiding to relaxation at about 36 hours.
The signs of death are usually noted as (Click link for more info and facts about algor mortis) algor mortis, rigor mortis, (Click link for more info and facts about livor mortis) livor mortis, and ((biology) decaying caused by bacterial or fungal action) decomposition.

Into the fertile time rose the spectre of Rigor Mortis, a band renowned for their intricate fast fretwork and energetic, gruesome vocals that did not yet become deathy, but were still forceful and raw.
Rigor Mortis was never the type of band that would go with the flow or do what all of the other bands were doing at the time.
But, the main reason I think that Rigor Mortis didn't sound like anyone else is simply that Mike, Harden and Casey each had their own unique style and technique in the way they played their instruments at that time.

Rigor mortis starts in the smallest muscles, and continues to spread until all muscles are stiff.
While this is true in a general sense, the real rule of thumb is rigor begins with small muscles and continues to large ones; which means the muscles in the face (which tend to be small) will be affected sooner than those in the leg (which tend to be longer).
To establish the degree of rigor mortis, a medical examiner will often feel the jaw, as this is the first place rigor mortis is noticable, and the first place from which it will disappear.

 Contraction and rigor mortis
Explaining the development of rigor is a serious undertaking, because first you must understand the biochemistry of muscle contraction.
In early research, it was though that increased tenderness might originate from the breakdown of rigor bonds between thick and thin filaments, but now this appears unlikely, because increased tenderness during conditioning still occurs when sarcomeres are at a stretched length that virtually eliminates any overlap of thick and thin filaments.
If the muscle happens to be at a contracted length when rigor develops, we have a major problem, because the massive overlap of thick and thin filaments causes severe meat toughness.

Review: Taking their neoclassical speed metal further into its haze of frenzied melody in conflicted explosive phrases emphasizing an alienation of sound and rhythm based in an urgency of apocalyptic isolation, Rigor Mortis launch an EP of their most technical work with a central application of anthemic theme and violent dissolution into chaos.
Based loosely in a progressive version of heavy metal done at high speed with a taste for the rawest, simplest riffs possible building into evolving structures of great complexity, this epic carries beauty through noise with structure and a sense of narrative behind its convoluted songwriting.
