What is produced in your muscles when there isn't enough oxygen?

Lactic acid


What is produced in muscles and causes cramping if no oxygen is present?

Lactic acid is produced in muscles when there is insufficient oxygen (anaerobic respiration). Accumulation of lactic acid can lead to muscle cramping and fatigue.


Why do your legs feel rubbery after running?

Sometimes insufficient oxygen is pumped to muscles through the blood stream during heavy physical exercise. Muscles start to prodoce energy anaerobically, without oxygen, and the by-product of which is lactic acid. Lactic acid built-up in our muscles give them a tingly feeling.


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.


What acid causes muscles to ache when oxygen is limited?

Lactic acid is the primary acid responsible for causing muscle aches and fatigue when oxygen is limited during intense exercise. It is produced as a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, when the body is unable to supply enough oxygen to meet the demands of the working muscles.


When muscle cells are deprived of oxygen they produce?

What is the byproduct that muscles produce when they are forced to work without sufficient oxygen?

When muscles work without enough oxygen, they produce a byproduct called lactic acid.


What is lactic acid and why does this increase the muscles?

When muscles are working hard and not enough oxygen is available the Kreb's cycle shuts down and the end product of glycolysis, pyruvic acid gets converted to lactic acid.


Why do muscles use less oxygen during exercise?

They should use more oxygen your muscles burn either sugar or fat, it doesnt need oxygen to burn sugar, but the by product of burning sigar is lactic acid or pruvic acid, anyway it makes your muscles ache. if you are exercising and breathing hard, then you are burning sugars. to burn fat your muscles need oxygen. The harder you work the more ogygen is required.


Muscle fatigue results from the accumulation of lactic acid in muscles because of?

lack of oxygen
