Though vertebrates are aerobes, but their `ul((i))` show anaerobic respiration during `ul((iii))`. During this `ul((iii))` of skeletal muscle fibres is broken down to release lactic acid and energy. Lactic acid, if accumulates causes muscle fatigue. Fill up the blanks in the above paragraph and select the correct option.A. `{:((i),(ii),(iii).),("skeletal muscles","heavy exercise","glycose"):}`B. `{:((i),(ii),(iii).),("skeletal muscles","mild exercise","glycogen"):}`C. `{:((i),(ii),(iii).),("skeletal muscles","heavy exercise","glycogen"):}`D. `{:((i),(ii),(iii).),("cardiac muscles","heavy exercise","glycogen"):}`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Muscle fatigue is the reduction in force of contraction of a muscle after prolonged stimulation. In the absence of oxygen, skeletal muscle of human beings can contract for a short time, but it gets fatigued soon. This is due to the fact that in the absence of oxygen, products of glycolysis mainly lactic acid is not disposed off and accumulates in the muscles.
This leads to muscle fatigue and pain in the muscles. A muscle gets fatigued sooner after a strenuous exercise than after a mild exercise. Faster breathing for sometime after s strenuous exercise supplies extra oxygen, disposes off excess lactic acids and muscle fatigue disappears.
