Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Preslaughter stress on animals affects the rate and extent of fall in muscle pH alongside rate of onset of rigor
mortis.
Reason (R) : Stress results in rapid depletion of ATP which delays the onset of rigor mortis in exhausted muscles.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
EXPLANATION
Humane Slaughter Systems
- Assertion (A) is True: Pre-slaughter handling and stress directly determine the extent of post-mortem glycogen depletion, governing the rate of pH decline and the time required for rigor mortis completion.
- Reason (R) is False: Stress and exhaustion cause rapid pre-mortem depletion of ATP and creatine phosphate. Because ATP is required to break actin-myosin crossbridges, depletion of ATP accelerates (hastens) the onset of rigor mortis, rather than delaying it.
- Conclusion: (A) is true, but (R) is false.
Correct option: (3) (A) is true but (R) is false.
