[Latin : rigor, stiffness + mortis, genitive of mors, death.]

rigor mortis

(ˈrɪɡə ˈmɔːtɪs) n (Pathology) pathol the stiffness of joints and muscular rigidity of a dead body, caused by depletion of ATP in the tissues. It begins two to four hours after death and lasts up to about four days, after which the muscles and joints relax[C19: Latin, literally: rigidity of death]

rig•or mor•tis

(ˈrɪg ər ˈmɔr tɪs; esp. Brit. ˈraɪ gɔr)
n. the stiffening of the body after death. [1830–40; < Latin: literally, stiffness of death]

rig·or mor·tis

(rĭg′ər môr′tĭs) Stiffening of the muscles after death. It occurs because the energy needed to interrupt the contraction of muscle fibers is no longer being produced.

rigor mortis


rigor mortis

(rĭ`gər môr`tĭs), rigidity of the body that occurs after death. The onset may vary from about 10 min to several hours or more after death, depending on the condition of the body at death and on factors in the atmosphere, particularly temperature. Rigor mortis affects the facial musculature first and then spreads to other parts of the body. It is caused by chemical changes in the muscle tissue. The state of rigor usually lasts about 24 hours or until muscle decomposition takes place by acid formation.

rigor mortis

[′rig·ər ′mȯrd·əs] (pathology) Stiffening and rigidity of the musculature occurring after death, beginning within 5-10 hours, and disappearing after 3-4 days.

rigor mortis

Pathol the stiffness of joints and muscular rigidity of a dead body, caused by depletion of ATP in the tissues. It begins two to four hours after death and lasts up to about four days, after which the muscles and joints relax

 [rig´or, ri´gor] 1. a chill; rigidity.2. strict discipline or scrupulous adherence to a given set of standards.rigor mor´tis the stiffening of a dead body accompanying depletion of adenosine triphosphate in the muscle fibers.

rig·or mor·'tis

stiffening of the body, 1-7 hours after death, from hardening of the muscular tissues as a consequence of the coagulation of the myosinogen and paramyosinogen; it disappears after 1-6 days or when decomposition begins. Synonym(s): cadaveric rigidity, postmortem rigidity

rigor mortis

(môr′tĭs)n. Muscular stiffening following death.
Stiffness of a cadaver. The following are crude approximations of the time of death, based on temperature and presence/absence of rigor
warm and flaccid < 3 hours
warm and stiff 3-8 hours
cold and stiff 8-36 hours
cold and flaccid > 36 hours

rigor mortis

Post-mortem corporal rigidity, stiff stiffness Pathology Board-like contraction of skeletal muscles that first appears in jaw and other short muscles–eg, of hand, 2-4 hrs after death; RM later appears on the trunk and extremities, peaks at 24-48 hrs; it disappears in the same order as it developed. Cf Livor mortis.

rig·or mor·tis

(rī'gōr mōr'tis) Stiffening of the body, from 1-7 hours after death, from hardening of the muscular tissues in consequence of the coagulation of the myosinogen and paramyosinogen; it disappears after 1-6 days, or when decomposition begins.
Synonym(s): postmortem rigidity.

rigor mortis

The stiffening of muscles which occurs after death as a result of the loss of ATP so that the cross bridges cannot disconnect from actin. Rigor usually starts about 3 or 4 hours after death and is usually complete in about 12 hours. It may start much earlier, sometimes almost immediately, if the subject was engaged in strenuous activity or was fevered or suffering convulsions before death. It passes off as enzymes break down and soften the muscles over the course of the next 2 or 3 days.

rigor mortis

the temporary stiffening of a body after death.

rig·or mor·tis

(rig'ŏr mōr'tis) Stiffening of the body, from 1-7 hours after death, due to hardening of the muscular tissues in consequence of the coagulation of the myosinogen and paramyosinogen.
Synonym(s): postmortem rigidity.
