a) Both Callisto and Salmoneus break several ribs and suffer trauma to the external intercoastal muscles. Considering their ages, describe one likely difference in the recovery for both a BONE and a skeletal MUSCLE (i.e., external intercostals) ** b) Salmoneus also suffers damage to his spinal cord during the accident. Compare the likely degree of regeneration/recovery of his spinal cord with that of the injured skeletal muscles and describe the consequences of your observations for his quality of life and ability to remain active. c) Salmoneus has lost a lot of blood. Xena inserts a tube that allows her to transfer her blood to him. Xena is A positive and Salmoneus is O positive. Discuss if this transfusion is expected to be successful and justify your answer. Describe the expected consequences of this transfusion attempt on Salmoneus's red blood cells. d) Salmoneus dies. When a cell dies its plasma membrane becomes "leaky"; i.e., it becomes permeable to ions that were unable to freely cross the membrane during life. Thus, after death, calcium ions leak across the sarcolemma of muscle fibers. This calcium leak causes rigor mortis, a temporary stiffness of the muscles after death. Apply your understanding of the mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction (specifically regarding events within muscle fibre) and explain the molecular basis of the phenomenon known as rigor mortis. /.

Question 6 Xena eventually catches Callisto (remember, she is 25 years old). Salmoneus, who is 60 years old, agrees to deliver Callisto to face charges for war crimes. On the way, their cart crashes down a ravine. a) Both Callisto and Salmoneus break several ribs and suffer trauma to the external intercoastal muscles. Considering their ages, describe one likely difference in the recovery for both a BONE and a skeletal MUSCLE (i.e., external intercostals). b) Salmoneus also suffers damage to his spinal cord during the accident.
