EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT AND THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY TO COUNT THEM ALL. THE BODY IS CONSTANTLY PRODUCING RED BLOOD CELLS. THEY GO THROUGH A CYCLE CALLED HEMATOPOIESIS WHERE THEY ARE PRODUCED BY THE MARROW IN YOUR BONES AND PROCEED TO AGE AND DIE.

How many blood cells do humans have?
Women have about four to five million erythrocytes, or red blood cells and men have about five to six million. There are about 4,000-11,000 white blood cells and 150,000-400,00 platelets at any given time in the human body.
What does too many red blood cells mean?
no. you body regulates what it does and doesnt need. when signals are sent through saying blood cells are dying or are damaged your body eliminates them and generates new daughter cells. but, your body can only produce so much per day that is why you can only donate blood every 3 days or else you would not be able to function or even die because of the blood loss from donating and not giving your body enough time to resupply the blood.
How many red blood cells does a child have?
There are countless factors that determine the amount of blood cells in anyone, child or adult. There are billions and billions within every human, and the numbers are constantly changing as you lose blood and produce new blood cells to replace the dead ones. As a matter of fact, by the time you are done reading this answer, your body will have likely produced thousands if not millions of new blood cells via mitosis!
Is your body always making new blood?
Yes, there is not an infinite supply of blood in your body. It's just the same blood being recycled by your heart. When your blood goes around your body, it's deprived of oxygen, so your heart kind of "freshens" the blood cells when they return to the heart. That's why people sometimes die from loss of blood.
What happens if blood cells are empty?
When the cells carrying blood to your body regard emptiness, this consequently means that you are most likely at that moment taking your last breath.
How many red blood cells does your body contain at any given time?
15 million

Does your body regrow blood cells when you donate blood?
Yes. Blood is normally donated a pint at a time. The body replaces it within 2 weeks.
Do nerve cells carry oxygen to the body?
No they don't. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all cells in our body. Red blood cells are made in our bone marrow, live for 120 days and are destroyed in our spleens. At any one time we have red blood cells of all ages floating in our blood. Red blood cells account for 45% of the volume of our blood.
When blood passes by body cells what do the body cells do?
Blood has an important role in the body. As blood passes by cells, it deposits oxygen rich nutrients and carries away the cells waste.
Where are red blood cells recycled?
Blood cells are born in the bone marrow and are delivered into the bloodstream to begin work. Blood cells only live a limited time in the blood. Old blood cells are destroyed by a type of cell called a macrophage. Macrophages are the trash collectors of the body and are, in fact, blood cells themselves.
What kills infectious bacteria in the human body?
White blood cells in the immune system, or artificially-introduced antibiotics. What kills bacteria and microbes are white blood cells and your antibodies which your body makes on its own. It recognizes the bacteria pathogen so that the next time it enters your body, you will have at least some immunity to it.
Why wait 56 days before donating blood again?
Because your body takes time to replace the red blood cells. When donating whole blood, the plasma (clear fluid), white blood cells and platelets that have been 'harvested' are replaced within a couple of days. The red blood cells are manufactured within the bone marrow of the donor and take much longer for the body to replace. It also gives your body time to recover from the donation. Donating blood at shorter intervals would leave you anaemic.

What is the term for the entryways to the heart?
The path of the blood has a definite purpose--to supply the blood with oxygen and deliver it to the body's cells. The blood carries oxygen to the body's cells and returns for more. When blood enters the right atrium of the heart, it is returning from the body where it has dropped off its supply of oxygen via osmosis and diffusion into body cells. At the same time, it has picked up waste in the form of carbon dioxide. You can think of the atrium as the "entry way" to the heart.
Why is the red blood cell more than the whitebloodcell and platellets?
White blood cells just protects your body from diseases. The red blood cells are produced almost all of the time to carry oxygen and energy round the body. I have used about 7 joules of my energy typing this.
