    Muscle fatigue is due to:

    A)  lactic acid      

    B)  citric acid

    C)  Na             

    D)  K

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

This situation is known as fatigue of a muscle. After rest for some time, this fatigued muscle regains its contractivity. During rest time, the lactic acid is reconverted to be utilized in the formation of ATP.
