Muscle Fibers

Do you know there are more than two types of muscle in your body. The human body consists of red and white muscles. Why do they need more than two types of muscle and what they do for? First of all, we need to know why they have a different color. This is because of myoglobin in the muscle. Red muscles have more myoglobin, so it looks red. What that means is that they have more oxygen so that they can continue to work like a marathoner. And, a splinter has more white muscles. When you eat fried chicken, you may notice that chicken breasts and legs have different colors as well. Now you understand why.
