HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Metabolisum and energy production in the skeletal muscle::

Muscular activity depends on metabolism of carbohydrates which provides the energy glycogen a polymerized form of glucose is stored in skeletal muscle and it is the major source of energy which is provided in the form of adenosine tri phosphate (ATP) 
    The first step of metabolism is glycogenolysis that converts muscle glycogen to glucose the glucose is further metabolised to pyruvic acid and lactic acid this process is termed as glycolysis it occurs in the absence of oxygen and results in the net systhesis of two ATP molecules for each molecule of glucose metabolised lactic acid derived from the anaerobic in the liver it is converted back to glucose and glycogen in a series of eactions called coris cycle
