- 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.

Just wanted to know how much blood the human body can contain. I'm doing some research. Some sites are a bit unreliable though. So I wanted to know how much blood the human body can lose without dying. Not passing out, I mean dying! Does adrenaline play a factor?

The human body holds 5.6 liters right (Depends on the person)? So how much can you lose without dying? 65-70%? Just curious!

I vaguely remember hearing that losing 4 liters = death

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems.

The blood volume of most mammals is approximately 7 to 9% of ideal bodyweight. If your 7ft giant weighed 100kg (15St 10lb), they would have a blood volume of 7 to 9 liters (12.3 to 15.85 British Pints) and a 5ft person weighing half that (50kg) would have a blood volume of 6 to 8 pints.

12'000 / 24 = 500 mp/h

My heart beats that fast as I've got something called cystic fibrosis. My lungs don't take in much oxygen so my heart works 2x more to move the oxygen poor blood round my body.
Also my recent trip to hospital was due to me coughing up blood from my lungs from a bust artery, I lost roughly 4.3ltr of blood in my worst point, only reason I'm still alive is adrenalin, kept me going but I felt rough :-)

Lol, just did some math.

The pump in my watercooled PC roughly circulates as much water in a year as a heat does blood in a lifetime

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

a heart is a powerful tool, plus they already have those plastic hearts(the ones you get during heart transplants.. from what I read) which they implant into your body if somebody cant get a real heart,

"people in ny have a general idea of how to drive. one of the pedals goes forward the other one prevents you from dying"
