$\huge\bold\green{Muscle\:Cramps:-}$

A sudden contraction of one or more muscles is called as muscle cramps.

Muscle cramps occur when anaerobic respiration takes place in our muscles. In anaerobic respiration, glucose is converted into lactic acid which leads to the lack of oxygen in muscles.

Overuse of muscles, muscle strain or dehydration causes cramps in muscles. Most of the cramps are harmless, some of the cramps are because of underlying medical condition, like inadequate blood supply.

The respiration in which sugar is break down into glucose to generate energy without the use of oxygen or in the absence of oxygen.

Equation : glucose → Carbon dioxide + lactic acid
