The question here is asking, what are oxygen molecules in the, quote, internal reservoir of oxygen in rusted muscles bound to? so, first of all, how do your muscles generally get oxygen? so one option is hemoglobin.
00:17
So we know hemoglobin is in red blood cells.
00:20
It provides oxygen throughout every part of your body.
00:23
It has cooperative binding, and it has four different sites for oxygen to bind.
00:28
However, myoglobin is different.
00:30
So it's another way your muscles will get oxygen.
00:33
So myoglobin is specifically only found in muscle cells, and it has a storage unit for just one oxygen.
00:41
However, it does have a higher affinity to bind to oxygen than hemoglobin does.
00:46
The only time you will find myoglobin in any other part of your body is if you have tore a muscle, and then myoglobin will be in your bloodstream...
