Detailed Solution

Accumulation of lactic acid occurs due to anaerobic breakdown of glucose in muscle.
* The lactic acid is carried to liver through blood circulation.
* In liver, lactic (lactate) acid is converted first into pyruvic acid (pyruvate) and then to glucose through gluconeogenesis.
* Glucose reaches the muscle.
* This two way traffic between muscle and liver is termed as Coricycle.
