as our all basic needs is fulfilled by aerobic respiration but when it comes to vigorous exercise when there is a shortage of oxygen , muscles starts using anaerobic respiration to full fill the need !

another example of anaerobic respiration in our body is in RBC ! Here there is no mitochondria so it has to do anaerobic respiration !
