Because muscles need a lot of ATP for muscle contraction and it needs oxygen to make ATP, it has its own form of hemoglobin called myoglobin. The binding of oxygen to hemo(myo)globin is what gives the characteristic red color in both RBCs and muscle tissue.

∙ 10y agomuscles are red due to the presence of myoglobin as well as haemoglobin

∙ 14y agoMuscles contain haemoglobin and myoglobin which are red when carrying oxygen.

∙ 14y agomuscle is a pinkish red because muscle requires a constant flow of oxygen and has a chemical called myoglobin

∙ 13y agoRed muscle fibers are slow twitch muscle fibers because they contain oxygen and produce ATP and are used more for endurance. White muscle fibers are fast twitch IIA and fast twitch IIB

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 tissue has one nucleus?
Smooth muscle tissue has a single nucleus in each cell :)
What is the average lifespan of red skeletal muscle cell?
15 years unless the tissue has been injured and apoptosis occurs.
How is oxygen supplied to the skeletal muscle?
Oxygen is transported by red blood cells and is released into tissues as they pass through capillaries in the tissue.
What gas is transported in the blood make makes it bright red?
Oxygen is the gas transported by red blood cells that gives them a bright red color.
Where does dark red blood change to bright red blood?
Because,oxygen make it red
Did BMW ever make a red z3 coupe?
yes they did, its called hellrot red (bright red)
How do you make bright red dark red?
Just simply add a little black color to the red
How do ligaments and skeletal system work together?
The tendons are part of the muscular system!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another answer would be , the tendons are the connection between the muscular and skeletal system , being connective tissue ,neither bone or muscle , but since the greater part of most tendons are attached to the muscle , and are only anchored to bone, then that would make them part of the muscular system.
What are three different muscle types?
There are three types of muscle tissue found in the human body. There are visceral muscles, which consist of smooth muscle tissue, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and responds to both hormones and neural stimulation. Smooth muscles have no striations, as the nucleus is centrally located. Thus, they are involuntarily controlled. Then, there is cardiac muscle, which is only found in the heart and is also stimulated by neural activity and hormones. Lastly, there are skeletal muscles, which aid in the movement of the body and is mostly attached to bones by means of tendons. These muscles are striated, and are voluntarily controlled. Skeletal muscles can further be sub-divided into two categories: red and white muscles. Red skeletal muscle tissue consists of a chemical not found in the white skeletal muscle called myoglobin. Myoglobin is a protein-like molecule, which aids in the storage of oxygen, which is essential to its function. Thus, this extra molecule is responsible for giving red muscles their coloring.
