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.
