if the working muscles do not have enough oxygen, then the process is anaerobic respiration where the glucose in the cells is creating lactic acid as it is not reacting with the oxygen needed like it would if the body was respiring normally then it would be aerobic respiration

What two things do muscles need?
nutrition and oxygen
When muscles are performing strenuous activities and need additional energy they perform a process called what?
The process of anaerobic glycolysis helps provide additional energy when there are limited amounts of oxygen in the muscles due to strenuous activities. This process can be manifested by the burning sensation in the muscles due to hard exercise.
Do muscles need oxygen to move?
Yes
Why do your muscles need oxygen?
To put it simply, almost all cells in our body require oxygen to function. Oxygen is needed for the mitochondria in our cell to produce energy. Glucose is also needed in the process of producing energy.because all cell need oxygen to get enegry
Why does heart rate increases?
because you need more oxygen to be delivered to the muscle and more waste to the lungs. when you are exercising your muscles need oxygen so the blood stars pumping faster to get the oxygen to the muscles.
How is blood supplied to the heart and why is this process important?
The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood through arteries which take the blood to muscles. Then when the oxygen is deprived of its oxygen it is pumped back to the heart where it is then sent to the lungs for more oxygen. It then repeats the process. This process is important because your muscles need oxygen to function.
When your bodies get warmed up what increases to the muscles that need it?
oxygen
Why do we become short of breath?
Your muscles use oxygen that's extracted from the air by the lungs and transported to the muscles by the blood. When you begin to move your muscles will need more oxygen, so you need to breathe faster in order for the lungs to be able to pick up more oxygen from the air.
Why does the heart beat faster when exerciseing?
As you exercise, the muscles need more oxygen to work. The heart beats faster to get the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the muscles. The harder you exercise, the more oxygen the muscles need, the faster the heart beats.
Do muscles need oxygen to work?
Yes, cardiac muscles cells have a very high oxygen demand, since they are constantly in motion. This is why any shortage of oxygen causes angina, or if the oxygen deprivation is long enough, it causes death of the muscle cells - what is commonly called a heart attack.
Do your muscles run low on oxygen?
Yes. When your muscles don't get enough oxygen they must obtain oxygen through a process called lactic acid fermentation. The lactic acid that forms as a result causes a burning sensation.
How does the cardiovascular affect the skeletomuscular system?
The muscles use oxygen transported by the cardiovascular system.
