Rigor mortis is dependent on ATP in order for it to occur. However the anthrax bacilli have a toxin called edema factor or calmodulin dependent adenylate cyclase, which is a toxin that inhibits the stiffening of muscles by constantly stimulating the release of cAMP, so that the cAMP level in body is never low. Thus even after death it supplies the muscles with adequate cAMP to be relaxed, even after a prolonged period.

The duration of Rigor Mortis - radio - is 1800.0 seconds.
Rigor mortis is a build up of released lactic acid. Rigor mortis starts a few hours after you die, and causes your muscles to contract, or shorten, which is their natural state. After about 12 hours Rigor mortis begins to dissipate.

Yes, temperature can affect the rate at which rigor mortis occurs. Warmer temperatures generally cause muscles to stiffen more rapidly, while colder temperatures can slow down or even delay the onset of rigor mortis.
Short answer; yes.All muscles undergo rigor mortis at some time after death.
That is the correct spelling for "rigor mortis" -- a Latin phrase applied to the stiffening of muscle tissues after death.

After death, rigor mortis occurs because of chemical changes within the muscles that causes them to stiffen.
