The Cori cycle involves the transport of lactic acid from muscles to the liver, where it is converted back into glucose. Glycolysis occurs in the muscle, breaking down glucose for energy and producing lactic acid as a byproduct. This lactic acid is then transported to the liver, where gluconeogenesis occurs, converting lactic acid back into glucose, which can then be sent back to the muscles for energy.
