Oxygen gets to the muscle via diffusion through the capillaries on the basis that a gas will flow from an area of high concentration, such as the arterial blood, to a zone of lower concentration, such as the muscle tissue.  It is carried to the tissue by red blood cells, attached to the hemoglobin molecule on the red cell.
