  • Haemoglobin is found systematically all over the body, while myoglobin is found in muscles tissues only.
  • Haemoglobin is made of protein and prosthetic groups and is well known for carrying oxygen pigment. It is the most vital part to sustain life as it works in transporting oxygen as well carbon dioxide throughout the body.
  • Myoglobin works for muscles cells only, by receiving oxygen from the RBC and further carry it to a mitochondrial organelle of muscles cells. Subsequently, this oxygen is used for cellular respiration to create energy.
