Human body contains 5 liters of blood,if we consider 72 heart beats a minute,approximately 5040ml of blood flows through the heart every minute,so the blood circulate around the body once in a minute.

∙ 11y agoPlease just don't think that a single erythrocyte (red blood cell) travels the whole body's vascular network- it doesn't.
What is the heart beat you have in mind? if you assume a 5 liters of blood for an average man and you have heart rate for an average stroke volume (~70 ml/stroke) you can calculate cardiac output.
e.g.
For an average person with a resting heart rate of 70 beats/minute the cardiac output for this person at rest is:
Cardiac Output = 70 (beats/min) X 70 (mL/beat) = 4900 mL/minute.
which means approx 1 minute for almost 'all blood' to be pumped
but if this person exercises (ie the Heart rate increases) this result will change.
if it doubles, then the 'whole of blood' may be pumped in 30 sec
.... I hope I make sense!

How far does a blood cell move And how long does is take to get back to the heart?
The heart moves the body's entire volume of blood in one minute, so that is how long it takes a blood cell to make a complete circuit. If memory serves, there are roughly 42,000 miles of blood vessels in the body, but a single cell will not travel all of that distance in one cycle. For instance, if it moves to an arm, it won't travel the vessels in the other extremities and their lengths, so the question is very subjective and impossible to answer as asked. Let your teacher know that and watch their head explode.

How does a blood clot travel from the right leg to the lung?
Blood comes into your heart through the veins all throughout the body, it enters the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava, leaves the heart though the pulmonary artery, enters the lungs, gets oxygen, enters the heart again through the pulmonary veins, and then leaves the heart and goes back throughout the body through the aorta. So blood travels from the heart, to the lungs, back to the heart, than out the heart and all through the body.
