how many pints of blood in the human body

							                                 Facts about BLOOD
  •	 By donating just one pint of blood, four lives can be saved.
  •	 The kidneys filter over 400 gallons of blood each day.
  •	 Blood accounts for about 8% of a human’s body weight.
  •	 A woman has approximately 4.5 liters of blood in her body, while men have 5.6 liters.
  •	 Your blood takes a very long trip through your body. If you could stretch out all of a human’s blood
     vessels, they would be about 60,000 miles long. That’s enough to go around the world twice.
  •	 Half your body’s red blood cells are replaced every seven days.
  •	 There is no substitute for human Blood.
  •	 An average adult has about 14 to 18 pints of Blood.
  •	 One standard unit or pint of Blood equals about two cups.
  •	 Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all of the body.
  •	 Blood carries carbon dioxide and other waste products back to the lungs, kidneys and liver for
     disposal.
  •	 Blood fights against infection and helps heal wounds.
  •	 The three main types of cells making up our Blood are the White Blood cells, Red Blood cells and
     Platelets:
        •	 White Blood Cells (WBCs) are the largest of the three types of cells and are responsible for fight-
           ing infections or germs. White Blood cells have a rather short life cycle, living from a few days
           to a few weeks. One drop of Blood can contain from 7,000 to 25,000 white Blood cells. If an
           invading infection fights back and persists, that number will significantly increase.
        •	 Red Blood Cells (RBCs) make up approximately 40% of Blood volume, carry oxygen to the cells
           of your body and return to the lungs to excrete carbon dioxide.
        •	 Platelets, the smallest of the Blood cells; make up 5% to 7% of total Blood volume.
              •	 In one drop of blood the size of the letter o contains 5 million red blood cells, 300,000
                 platelets, 7000 white blood cells.
              •	 Blood travels from the heart through the arteries, into the capillaries, and back through
                 the veins to the heart making two complete cycles every 60 seconds
              •	 Sixty thousand miles of blood vessels link every living cell.
              •	 The average bone marrow transplant requires the platelets from about 120 donations, and
                 the red Blood cells from about 20 Blood unit donations.

Only 5% of healthy Americans donate Blood.
  •	 Approximately 32,000 pints of blood are used every day of every year.
  •	 Red Cross says that an American needs a blood transfusion for medical treatment every two seconds.
