How many miles of arteries capillaries and veins are in the adult human body?
60,000 miles, or the equivalent of 2½ times around the world!
How long are your arteries?
Your arteries carry blood from the heart to all corners of the body. The aorta is the main artery leaving the heart, with well known branches like the carotid artery (to the head), the femoral arteries (to the legs), the brachial ateries (to the arms). The other main artery from the heart is the pulmonary artery which goes to the lungs to get oxygen.
What organ system brings the blood to the body?
The cardiovascular system brings blood to the body. You have more than 50,000 miles of blood vessels in your body.

Where can your blood vessel be?
Blood vessels are found everywhere in your body, from the largest arteries and veins, to the smallest capillaries. When they are all added together into one line, they could stretch around the world twice! That means you have over 50,000 miles of blood vessels in your body! Wow!!!
What is the total length of capillaries in the human cardiovascular system?
From ventricle to ventricle, there are more than 50 miles worth of capillaries in which the heart pumps blood around the body.(edt) The various sources I consulted were rather vague on the subject, but I've seen estimates around 60,000 miles (or 100,000 km) in children, and 100,000 miles (161,000 km) in adults for the total length of blood vessels in general. True, this includes arteries and veins also, but most of that length would still be capillaries. Therefore it should be way more than 50 miles...
How many square mile do capillaries cover in our bodies?

Explain the statement servicing the capillaries is the essential function of the organs of the circulatory system?
The capillaries are where the actual transfer of oxygen to the cells happen making it the absolute essential part of the system. The lungs/gills/skin whole job is to get oxygen into the bloodstream so that the capillaries have oxygen to transfer to the cells. The hearts whole job is to supply enough pressure to circulate the blood past the capillaries so it constantly has new oxygenated blood to transfer oxygen to the cells. --Ryan F
What is the difference between a blood vessel and veins?
capillaries are the fine branches of arteries or veins which supply blood to the bodies extremities, and veins are the thinner tubes carrying the de oxygenated blood back to the heart.
How many coronary arteries in the body?
There are too many to count. There are also variations from person to person. The biggest arteries branch into smaller arteries and those branch into smaller and smaller arteries down to the arterioles, which are very small and there are many of them. Some people say there are millions of arteries in the human body. One source says there are so many arteries in the body that if you laid them end to end, they would be about 60,000 miles long.
How long is the Cardiovascular System?
The cardiovascular system, which includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, spans the entire body. It consists of miles of blood vessels that reach all parts of the body to transport nutrients, oxygen, and waste products. The length of the blood vessels in the adult human body is estimated to be around 60,000 miles.
How many miles of arteries capillaries and veins are there in the adult human body?
The "average body" is a 154 lb (70 kg) male. I believe the answer is an "unbelievable" 100,000 miles.A book that I have, written by the American Heart Assoc. (the book is probably 30-40 years old), said 62,000 miles of blood vessels in the average human body.Another book that I have (probably written before WWII), said 36,000 miles.This includes every vessel, down to the small capillaries in the lungs, brain, liver, kidney etc.Yeah the average amount of miles of the adult circulatory system is 100,000 miles-it could go round the world four times and reach half to the moon.Humans have enough blood vessels to go around the earth's equator 2 and a half times.About 62,000 miles.
