Detailed explanation-1: -Muscle cells also carry out lactic acid fermentation, though only when they have too little oxygen for aerobic respiration to continue-for instance, when you’ve been exercising very hard.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lactic acid is a chemical your body produces when your cells break down carbohydrates for energy. You might see it referred to as lactate. Muscle cells and red blood cells make the most lactic acid, but it can come from any tissue in your body. Most people think of lactic acid in their muscles during a tough workout.
Detailed explanation-3: -When our cells need energy, they break down simple molecules like glucose. The process for breaking down glucose anaerobically is called glycolysis. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of the cell and does not involve oxygen. The cells turn pyruvate, the products of glycolysis, into lactic acid.
