So that means we have a high amount of myoglobin and these muscles appear red. And that's exactly why these are also known as red muscles. Now, how exactly does oxygen actually get to our slow oxidative muscle? Well, it's carried by the blood. And that means because these muscles have a lot of oxygen, they also have many capillaries that actually carry the oxygen to those particular muscles. Now, because these have a low contraction speed and because they break down ATP slowly, they also have a high amount of triglycerides.
