A human body contains about about 5 liters of blood (a little more than one gallon). The heart will continuously pump this amount of blood throughout the cardiovascular system (throughout the body) and through each side of the heart one time each minute. Of course, the amount of blood actually held within the heart at any given moment varies on the person (do they have a healthy or defective heart?) and the size of their heart (baby versus adult), and other factors.
Based on a heart rate of 75 beats a minute and a stroke volume (amount/volume of blood pumped out by one ventricle with each heart beat) of 70 ml. per beat, the average adult cardiac output (amount of blood pumped out by each ventricle in 1 minute) is 5.25 liters per minute.
