As lactate and other substances accumulate in an active muscle, they stimulate pain receptors and the muscle may feel sore. How might the application of heat or substances that dilate blood vessels relieve such soreness?
Which of the following is thought to be cause of  muscular fatigue? Decrease level of lactate within the muscle cell Decrease level of extracellular potassium outside of muscle cell Increased level of acetylcholinesterase in the synaptic cleft  Increase level of intracellular ATP within muscle cell Increase level of phosphate within muscle cell
