Myoglobin is a protein within the muscle tissue which acts as an oxygen carrier.
As a long term effect of exercise. The ability of the muscles to store myoglobin is increased. Because muscles increase their oxidative capacity through regular exercise, the myoglobin stores also increase because they get used to the demands of exercise and work placed upon them so increase stores as they will be needed. The increase in oxidative capacity is achieved by an increase in the number of mitochondria within the muscle cells, an increase in the supply of ATP and an increase in the quantity of enzymes involved in respiration.

What compound stored oxygen inside skeletal muscle cells?
keratinThe correct answer is NOT keratin... the correct answer is myoglobin. This is the oxygen-binding pigment in muscle.
What protein stores O2 in tissues?
myoglobin
The bright red color of skeletal muscle is due mainly to its?
Myoglobin-myoglobin stores oxygen from red blood cells, which are red. The reason myoglobin stores oxygen (if you wanna know) is to have it available when there's muscle activity.
What is the mass of myoglobin a protein that stores oxygen?
milligrams (mg)
What are the changes in muscle with exercise?
Training in increases the vascularization of muscle so that more blood can be delivered to the tissue when active. In addition there is an increase in muscle mass, increased ability for metabolism with more myoglobin and more mitochondria in active tissue.
What does myoglobin do for muscles?
Myoglobin's function is similar to that of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in red blood cells to various tissues. Myoglobin has even higher affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin and is specific to muscle cells. Myoglobin thus acts as a storage of oxygen, as it holds oxygen inside heart and skeletal muscles.
What substance in muscle seems able to store oxygen temporarily?
Myoglobin is synthesized in cells and imparts the reddish-brown color of skeletal muscle tissue. Like hemoglobin, myoglobin can combine loosely with oxygen. This ability to temporarily store oxygen reduces a muscle's requirement for a continuous blood supply during muscular contraction.
How myoglobin is Distributed in cardiac disorders?
myoglobin
How can the oxygen store in myoglobin be replaced after use?
Myoglobin has a very high affinity for oxygen, meaning it binds it very strongly. At very low oxygen concentrations in the cell, myoglobin releases its oxygen, despite the high affinity, simply because there are too few oxygen molecules around to rebind to the myoglobin when they are released naturally from the myoglobin (which usually occurs anyway). Once the oxygen concentration increases again, returning to normal, oxygen molecules will collide with myoglobin. The myoglobin, with its high oxygen affinity, will strongly bind any oxygen that meets it, replenishing myoglobin's oxygen storage very quickly. As myoglobin's affinity for oxygen is stronger the haemoglobin's, it will 'steal' oxygen from haemoglobin in the blood very easily, replacing its bound oxygen. This binding system serves to release oxygen when it is needed if blood oxygen levels are reduced (due to high levels of exercise), but replenishes the supply when oxygen levels begin to rise again.
How do you increase the stamina?
