  • It ranges from 0.03 cm/sec (in Capillaries) through 15 cm/sec (in Vena cavae inferior and superior) to 40 cm/sec (in Aorta).
  • Blood flow is the continuous circulation of blood in the cardiovascular system. This process ensures the transportation of nutrients, hormones, metabolic wastes, O2 and CO2 throughout the body to maintain cell-level metabolism, the regulation of the pH, osmotic pressure and temperature of the whole body, and the protection from microbial and mechanical harms.
  • A typical human body contains 5.6 liters of blood. The heart pumps about 7,571 liters of blood a day through its chambers.
