Blood is about 7% of the human body weight, 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. 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
