Detailed explanation-1: -About 70 percent of your body’s iron is found in the red blood cells of your blood called hemoglobin and in muscle cells called myoglobin. Hemoglobin is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood from the lungs to the tissues. Myoglobin, in muscle cells, accepts, stores, transports and releases oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hemoglobin contains iron, which allows it to pick up oxygen from the air we breathe and deliver it everywhere in the body. You can think of hemoglobin as the iron ("heme"), oxygen transport protein, ("globin") found in red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Haemoglobin is the iron-containing pigment that enables red blood cells to carry high concentrations of oxygen to the tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bone marrow creates almost all of the cells in your body. Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Myoglobin is an iron-and oxygen-containing molecule found in muscle cells that is structurally similar to hemoglobin and functions to carry oxygen in muscle tissue.
