Definitions:

Hydrogen Ions

Positively charged ions (H+) that form when a hydrogen atom loses its electron, crucial in acid-base chemistry.

Muscle Cramps

Involuntary and sudden contractions of a muscle or muscles, often causing pain and discomfort.

Lactate Ion

A negatively charged ion (anion) formed from lactic acid, playing a significant role in metabolic processes, especially in muscle cells during strenuous exercise.

Pyruvate Ion

A negatively charged ion derived from pyruvic acid, playing a crucial role in metabolic processes as an energy source.
