553. Muscle fatigue is caused by the accumulation of___________?

  • A. Uric acid
  • B. Lactic acid
  • C. Oxalacetic acid

  • A. 10,000
  • B. 1,00,000
  • C. 1,50,000
  • D. 2,00,000

Explanation: At an average rate of about 70 heartbeats per minute, the valves open and close roughly 100,000 times in 24 hours. The larger figures would require an abnormally high heart rate or count.

Correct answer: 1,00,000
