Explanation:

i. Tissue:

A tissue is an ensemble of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same origin that together carry out a specific function. Organs are then formed by the functional grouping together of multiple tissues.

ii. joint:

A place where two bones meet is called joint

iii. Peristalsis:

Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract. It starts in the esophagus where strong wave-like motions of the smooth muscle move balls of swallowed food to the stomach.

iv. Asphyxiation:

the state or process of being deprived of oxygen, which can result in unconsciousness or death; suffocation.

"the cause of death was asphyxiation"

V. Glycogenolysis:

Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen. The reaction takes place in the hepatocytes and the myocytes. The process is under the regulation of two key enzymes: phosphorylase kinase and glycogen phosphorylase.
