Hi, May I get help with this question for physiology? An explanation leading to the correct answer would be helpful!
Scenario: You're taking a train from Istanbul to Zagreb, and there has been a murder! Fortunately, a world-class detective is on the train with you and the train's owner ask him take over the case. You are not a suspect, but you are an expert in human physiology. You examine the body for "rigor mortis" to estimate the time of death. Rigor mortis occurs because, at death, all the existing ATP is rapidly depleted and no new ATP is made. The lack of ATP prevents the cross-bridge cycle, and the muscles become extremely stiff. You explain all of this to the detective, Hercule P, but he's confused why the lack of ATP would make the body stiff rather than limp. After all, isn't the primary function of sarcomeres to build tension in muscles?
You tell Hercule that the lack of ATP actually prevents:

- A hypothetical organ has the following functional requirements : (1) the ability to resist surface abrasion and mechanical stresses;(2) the ability to contract involuntarily when stimulated by cells of the nervous system; and (3) the ability to resist tension in many different planes of force. The organ needs one tissue to carry out each of these requirements, and it also needs one tissue to " glue" all other tissues together, and one tissue to stimulate the contracting cells. What are the five tissues that will make up this hypothetical organ ?

How should you respond to this claim? (a) Yes, her claim is correct. Three must belong to different organisms because all muscle is made form the same kind of cells (b) No, her claim is incorrect. The tissues in our muscles differ depending on the muscle's function, so these could be three different types of muscle in one organism (c) Her claim is somewhat correct. The first muscle sample comes from one type of animal, while the last two are from the same animal, but are two different parts of the same musclearrow_forward
