Lactic acid is one of the by-products of anaerobic cellular respiration, the less efficient process by which cells will make ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the 'energy currency' of cells) in the absence of sufficient oxygen for aerobic respiration.
pyruvic acid
The process that produces ethanol is alcoholic fermentation. The process that produces lactic acid is lactic acid fermentation.
Lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic process. This means that lactic acid is produced in the absence of oxygen. This usually occur in bacteria cells but can also occur in muscle cells.
lactic acid can also be produced in lactic acid fermentation when oxygen is absent. in this process, pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid and NADH is oxidized to NAD+.
As Lactic acid is formed from glucose, it is produced in the stomach of the digestive system
Lactic acid produced by fermentation.
Lactic acid is produced by anaerobic respiration (when there is an absence or insufficiency of oxygen intake). If there is adequate oxygen (provided by respiration) and metabolic fuel, lactic acid is not produced.

Anaerobic Respiration produces lactic acid through a process known as "lactic acid fermentation."
