Role of myoglobin in regulating respiration during muscle contraction

Oxygen (O2) transport from air to mitochondria depends on both the mechanisms of convection and diffusion. In the final step of the O2 cascade, from the capillary to myocyte, O2 is transported into cells via diffusion according to the potential differences in PO2 across plasma membranes. Myoglobin (...
