How does zygomaticus gets its name?
not sure but it comes from Latin word for yoke
--well actually it comes from a greek word . In fact in greek, it's called "zygomatikO" which comes from the verb "zyg-O-o" which means to bond two things together. So, in our case, zygomatico means (the bone) which bonds the skull to the maxilla.
ZygOs also means "yoke", so either explanation is possible -because yoke is similar in shape with the two zygomatic bones, if you see them from the front (both of them)
But, I think philologists say it's from the verb (hence, because it bonds skull to maxilla)

What acid do tired muscles contain?
Tired muscles contain lactic acid. Therefore, we must do more exercises... and not overwork ourselves.
The acid accumulated in the muscle, as a result of the metabolic activitites, is called lactic acid. Usually this lactic acid is broken down, in the presence of oxygen, so we don't get cramps. However, if there is a shortage of oxygen, then this acid accumulates and doesn't break down, causing cramps.
During exercise muscles in the body create lactic acid (also called lactates). Lactic acid is created in the muscles through the breakdown of glucose and can be used a source of glucose.
