This review is concerned with the function of myoglobin, but brings in hemoglobin because both have been used in recent work on facilitated diffusion of oxygen. By examining a model for such facilited diffusion through porous membranes a steady state system of equations for myoglobin is developed together with suitable boundary conditions. Possible methods of solution are considered and various results given and examined. The mechanism of oxygen delivery to muscles is then discussed.
