If the heart of average person pumps about five liters of blood per minute how much blood would it pump per hour How much would it pump per day show work?

To calculate how much blood the heart pumps per hour, multiply the amount pumped per minute (5 liters) by the number of minutes in an hour (60 minutes). So, 5 liters/minute x 60 minutes = 300 liters/hour. To find how much blood is pumped per day, multiply the amount pumped per hour (300 liters) by the number of hours in a day (24 hours). Therefore, 300 liters/hour x 24 hours = 7200 liters/day.


How much blood does the heart pump in 24 hours?

A person can have around 4.8 - 6.2 litres of blood in their body. Depending on body size, fitness.In a healthy person, all this blood will be pumped by the heart very minute, so multiply the volume of blood by 1440 (60 minutes x 24 hours) and that is how much blood will pass through the heart per day at rest. If exercise is done, this could increase to 40L per minute.4.8 x 1440 = 6912 Litres - 1825 gallons6.2 x 1440 = 8928 Litres - 2357 gallonsThis is the same blood being pumped continuously .

How much blood do your kidneys filter per day?

The average human has about 1.0 to 1.5 gallons of blood. The kidneys continually filter this throughout the day, all the blood being filtered about once every 45 minutes or so.There are 32 x 45 minute cycles in a day, therefore the figure is between(32 x 1.0 =) 32 gallons a day, and (32 x 1.5 =) 48gallons a dayThe BBC Body page puts the figure at 150 liters a day which is around 40 US (33 UK) gallons. Other data source puts the figure at about 180 liters a day, which is 48 US ( 40 UK) gallons.Obviously the amount filtered each day in any individual case will depend on such things as body blood volume and activity (or otherwise!) of the person etcRelated Links shown below ads...

So, 5 liters/minute x 60 minutes = 300 liters/hour. To find how much blood is pumped per day, multiply the amount pumped per hour (300 liters) by the number of hours in a day (24 hours). Therefore, 300 liters/hour x 24 hours = 7200 liters/day.

How much blood do we have pumped in a day?

The amount of blood the heart pumps every day may change do to different conditions of the body, for example the heart's rate (Hr). A normal person has an average Hr of 70 beats per minute. The average stroke volume is 5 liters per minute (amount of blood pumps for your heart every minute). If you multiply 5 liters per 60 minutes, you will get 300 liters per hour. If you multiply 300 liters per 24 hours, you will get 7200 liters per day.


How much does that volume of blood weigh 24 hours of blood in total?

Your volume of blood does not change significantly over 24 hours. The density of blood is approximately 1060 kg/m3. Which means a litre of blood weighs 1.06 kgs. Typically, a person may have about 5 litres of blood in their body.

How long does caffeine stay in your body after drinking 1 cup of coffee at night?

It is circulated and recycled and then reabsorbed in your bloodstream until your kidneys filter it out into your urine. So I'd say around 2-4 hours, depending on your heart rate.
