lactic acid
5 minutes
The muscles will produce lactic acid which feels like the muscles are burning.
It must be able to continue aerobic metabolism when skeletal muscle cannot
The muscles will produce lactic acid which feels like the muscles are burning.
When muscle cells are oxygen deprived, the heart must work harder to deliver enough oxygenated blood to the tissues. It may increase heart rate or contractility to compensate for the decreased oxygen supply. If oxygen deprivation persists, it can lead to tissue damage or even a heart attack.
When the muscle cells are deprived of oxygen, the cells produce ATP through the anaerobic fermentation. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and does not need oxygen. In the glycolysis pathway, two ATPs are produced as net products. Also, anaerobic fermentation occurs. The pyuvate is converted into lactic acid and regnerate NAD using this process.
The lactate is taken to the liver and converted back to pyruvate.
it happens in all cells in the body when they are deprived of oxygen.
In order for the muscle fatigue to end the muscle cells must be provided with oxygen to 'burn' the lactic acid.
Lactic acid builds up and causes muscle burn.
During exercise muscle cells use oxygen.
All cells need Oxygen.
