There are number of muscles which work together during respiration. The major muscles to look at: 1.diaphragm and transversus abdominus, which will enable you to inhale and exhale 2.intercostal Muscles and transversus thoracic, which are responsible for both inhalation and exhalation, but are also maintaining the structure of your lung and your thorax and preventing it from collapsing on itself.

What type of energy is lost from a muscle cell during respiration?

During respiration in a muscle cell, the energy lost is in the form of heat. This heat is a byproduct of the metabolic processes that occur to produce ATP for muscle contraction.


When lactate builds in a runner's muscle it causes a burning sensation What causes this to occur?

The muscles do not have enough oxygen for aerobic respiration.


Where does the electron transport chain of respiration occur?

This occurs in the muscle tissue of the walls of the heart.


When lactate builds up in a runner's muscle it causes a burning sensation. what causes this to occur?

The muscles do not have enough oxygen for aerobic respiration.


What does the mitochondria do in muscle cell?

Mitochondria in muscle cells produce energy through a process called cellular respiration, generating ATP (adenosine triphosphate) that fuels muscle contractions. This energy production enables muscle cells to sustain prolonged contractions during physical activities.


Why does this type of respiration occur in anaerobic respiration?

atcholic


Is respiration a function of muscles?

No. The function of respiration is the exchange of gases. The main muscle of respiration is the diaphragm.

What is the function of pallial muscle?

The pallial muscle, found in bivalve mollusks, primarily functions to control the opening and closing of the shell. It enables the organism to protect itself from predators and environmental threats by tightly closing the shell when necessary. Additionally, this muscle assists in regulating the bivalve's access to water flow, which is essential for feeding and respiration.


Where in your body can you use anaerobic respiration?

In your muscle cells. In your case, the only fermentation your cells are going through is lactic acid fermentation (and not alcohol fermentation). Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen present, then your cells will go through aerobic respiration normally. However, there are times when your cells lack oxygen, as in intense exercise. When cells can do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it is called facultative respiration.
