The grandparent means something a bit different. Muscles can use glucose without _oxygen_ to get short bursts of energy quickly by rearranging glucose molecules (indirectly) into lactic acid.

Ketones can't be used for this purpose.

Glycogen is stored in the muscles and in the liver, not just the liver. The liver holds around half of your reserves.
