Re: Teenager Shoot and Kills a Guy Waiting for a Check-up Inside a Health Clinic
It's the same old song and dance. It doesn't happen until it happens. Like when someone hears gun shots in the night and the next day tells the news team they thought it was just fire crackers going off or a car back firing. |

Re: Teenager Shoot and Kills a Guy Waiting for a Check-up Inside a Health Clinic
It's called cadaveric spasm. ATP is required to reuptake calcium into the sarcomere's sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). When a muscle is relaxed, the myosin heads are returned to their "high energy" position, ready and waiting for a binding site on the actin filament to become available. Because there is no ATP available, previously released calcium ions cannot return to the SR. These leftover calcium ions move around inside the sarcomere and may eventually find their way to a binding site on the thin filament's regulatory protein. Since the myosin head is already ready to bind, no additional ATP expenditure is required and the sarcomere contracts. |
