Anaerobic respiration
the term for the chemical reactions in cells that break down
nutrient molecules to release energy without using oxygen.

Anaerobic respiration
This process is called fermentation and is shown by the following equation:

Anaerobic respiration
in muscle cell, it happens during vigorous exercise
Oxygen cannot be delivered fast enough for the muscle to respire aerobically, so
the product is different:
glucose lactic acid + energy
The lactic acid builds up in the muscles and causes muscle fatigue
(cramp).

Oxygen debt
When the body is lack of the necessary oxygen it needs to complete the process
of respiration and eliminate the lactic acid
After the body activity level slows, a person takes in extra oxygen to gradually
repay this oxygen debt
This will allow the cells to process the built up of lactic acid
