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 type of muscle attaches to the bone?

Very few, if any, skeletal muscles in the human body are not attached to bone at the origin or insertion. There are a few muscles which do not have 2 bony attachments, and instead are connected by tendinous sheaths to other muscles - the abdominal muscles come to mind. If we are talking all muscles, there are many - the heart, which is muscle, is not attached to bone. The smooth muscles in the vasculature, eyes, gut, esophagus, etc are not connected to bone. Depends on which muscle you mean. :) J. DeLaughter, DO
