Question 451 Mark
Why do muscles fatigue?
Answer
The continuous contraction and relexation in muscles cause movement in organs. If it continues for longer time then anaerobic conditions are created in muscle cells and an aerobic respiration begins due to which lactic acid is formed. Thus, accumulation of lactic acid causes muscle fatigue. After taking some rest in some course of time liver degrades the lactic acid and person is relieved from pain.

Question 941 Mark
Why are muscles rigidly locked in whatever position they are after death? What is the phenomenon known as?
Answer
Muscles require ATP to relax as well as to contract. On animal's death, its muscles soon exhaust ATP and lose the ability to contract or relax. They become rigidly locked in whatever position they were when ATP gets completely used up. This phenomenon is known as mo Rigor Mortis. It is used in determining the time of death.
