mutch? haha...never mind... human does not perfect...

ok, to the point..

An adult male of average size normally has about 6 quarts (5.6 liters) of blood. Blood is composed of several kinds of cells (occasionally called corpuscles); these formed elements of the blood constitute about 45% of whole blood. The other 55% is blood plasma, a fluid that is the blood's liquid medium, appearing yellow in color. The normal pH of human arterial blood is approximately 7.40 (normal range is 7.35-7.45), a weak alkaline solution. Blood that has a pH below 7.35 is acidic, while blood pH above 7.45 is alkaline. Blood pH along with arterial carbon dioxide ten

The erythrocytes, or red blood cells, make up the largest population of blood cells, numbering from 4.5 million to 6 million per cubic millimeter of blood.

The leukocytes, or white blood cells, defend the body against infecting organisms and foreign agents, both in the tissues and in the bloodstream itself (see immunity). Human blood contains about 5,000 to 10,000 leukocytes per cubic millimeter; the number increases in the presence of infection.

The granulocytes form in the bone marrow and account for about 70% of all white blood cells.

The agranulocytes include the monocytes and the lymphocytes. Monocytes are derived from the phagocytic cells that line many vascular and lymph channels, called the reticuloendothelial system. Monocytes ordinarily number 4% to 8% of the white cells.

Lymphocytes, under normal conditions, make up about 20% to 35% of all white cells, but proliferate rapidly in the face of infection.

The blood also contains platelets, or thrombocytes, and at least 15 other factors active in blood clotting.

Blood is composed of a yellowish fluid, called plasma, in which are suspended the millions of cells that constitute 45% by volume of whole blood. A cubic millimeter of human blood contains about 5 million red blood cells, or erythrocytes; 5,000 to 10,000 white blood cells or leukocytes; and 200,000 to 300,000 platelets or thrombocytes. The blood also carries many salts and organic substances in solution in the blood plasma.

In an average healthy adult, the volume of blood is about one-eleventh of the body weight. Most sources state the volume of blood in an average human adult, who is between 150 to 160 pounds, as between 4.7 and 5 liters, although the more recent sources state the volume of blood in an average adult as 4.7 liters. Sources state that an 80-pound child had about half that amount, and an 8-pound infant has about 8.5 ounces. People who live at high altitudes, where the air contains less oxygen, may have up to 1.9 liters more blood than people who live in low altitude regions. The extra blood delivers additional oxygen to body cells. The heart pumps all the blood in the body each minute when the body is at rest

Blood pH along with arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) and HCO3 readings are helpful in determining the acid-base balance of the body. The respiratory system and urinary system normally control the acid-base balance of blood as part of homeostasis. Blood is about 7% of the human body weight,[1] so the average adult has a blood volume of about 5 litres, of which 2.7-3 litres is plasma. Human blood density is around 1060 kg/m³.[2] The combined surface area of all the red cells in the human body would be roughly 2,000 times as great as the body's exterior surface.

The average male has about 6 quarts (5.6 liters) of blood. Red Blood cells called Erythrocytes are the major part of blood sitting between 4.5 to 6 million red blood cells per cubic millimeter of blood. The red blood cells are generated in the large bones of the body and Plasma is the white or clear blood cells.

Blood weight is approximately 7% of total body weight. A 70 kilogram person will have about 5 liters.

the human body contains approximately 6 quarts (or 5.6 liters) of blood. The PBS site goes on to offer several other interesting tidbits:


In one day, your blood travels nearly 12,000 miles.
Your heart beats around 35 million times per year.
Your heart pumps a million barrels of blood during the average lifetime -- enough to fill three supertankers.

Sometimes your body doesn't pump as much blood as it's sposed to pump witch is the loss of blood cells.When you lose blood cells you become weaker,thus they have to fix the problem.


I am not positive about this answer but i estimated 100 blood cells every minut

Estimated:1 million blood cellls in your body.

But you have to think that old blood cells die a new one's are always getting pumped

Males around 5 litters Women a little less, being bigger does not necessarily means more blood, if the person has a lot of fatty tissue blood is not present as much as it is in pure muscle tissue, also bones have little percentage of blood in them.
