Answer:

Rigor mortis- Stiffening or contraction of body muscles after vital functions cease.

Explanation:

What is the definition of rigor mortis?

Rigor mortis is a postmortem condition that causes the body muscles to stiffen due to chemical alterations in their myofibrils. Rigor mortis is used to determine the period since death and whether the body was moved after death.

Three stages of Rigor mortis-

  • 0-8 hours: Body begins to harden but is still movable. 8-12 hours: Muscles become fully stiff.
  • 12-24 hours: Muscles stay solid and stiff.
  • 24-36 hours: Stiffness disperses, and muscles become flexible.
