∙ 10y agoCreatine levels increase in the blood,(I may have misspelled that).. It is a protein byproduct of oxygen starved damaged muscle tissue. If it is very elevated it can damage the kidneys. You will feel very thirsty, this is the body wanting to flush the kidneys. Check for blood in the urine. Doctor will administer saline IV's to flush the system.

Which equation represents a process that results from lack of oxygen in human muscle cells?
glucose ---------> lactic acid + ATP
In order for the muscle fatigue to end the muscle cells must be provided with what?
In order for the muscle fatigue to end the muscle cells must be provided with oxygen to 'burn' the lactic acid.
How do human muscle cells get oxygen?
The process in muscles which uses oxygen is called respiration. Muscles, like all aerobic living cells, require oxygen for aerobic respiration, which is the process by which cells convert food into energy. So when muscles contract, they are using oxygen. When muscles do not get sufficient oxygen for contraction, problems arise. The muscle cells must use anaerobic repiration which is respiration without oxygen. They cannot do this for very long though as the byproduct of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid which causes a fall in pH.
What happens to your muscles in anaerobic respiration?
Without oxygen the muscles switch to the less efficient fermentation process to extract energy from glucose. This floods the muscle cells with lactic acid, causing a burning sensation. If the lactic acid levels rise high enough the muscle cells begin to degrade and some may even die.
What happens in your muscle tissue and cells when the demand of oxygen is not met?
If the demand for oxygen is not met for a long period of time, the cells within the muscle tissue will die.
Which process takes place in muscle cells when do not get enough oxygen?
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Which process takes place cells when they do not get enough oxygen?
Lactic acid fermentation
What following reaction takes place in your muscle cells?
cellular respiration if there is enough oxygen. Lactic Acid fermentation if there is a lack of oxygen.
Why would muscle cells bother with fermentation?
Fermentation is a way to produce energy when there isn't enough oxygen available.
Which equation represents a process that results from lack of oxygen in human muscle cells?
glucose ---------> lactic acid + ATP
How oxygen enters the cells?
Oxygen is able to go into a cell by diffusion. The oxygen molecules are small enough to go through the cell membrane with that process.
In order for the muscle fatigue to end the muscle cells must be provided with what?
In order for the muscle fatigue to end the muscle cells must be provided with oxygen to 'burn' the lactic acid.
What process allows muscle cells to continue to release energy in the absence of sufficient oxygen?
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.
What is the process preformed by muscle cells when oxygen isn't present?
It is anerobic respiration. Lactic acid fermentation is taken place
During exercise muscle cells use what?
During exercise muscle cells use oxygen.
