How many phagocytes do you have in your body?

I have no idea. However, Let me show you how to go about getting an answer to this question. The sources I use will be in the related links I will make below if you need to check my research.As I know that Phagocytes are part of the blood tissue, I will look for the number of phagocytes in a volume of blood. I found a Wikipedia article that provides this - "One litre of human blood has about six billion phagocytes".I now need to know the average adult blood volume. I found a Wikipedia article that gave this information - "A typical adult has a blood volume of approximately between 4.7 and 5 litres" - lets use 5 litres for ease.We now have the number of Phagocytes in a litre of human blood and know that the human body hold 5 litres of blood. If we multiply the two together we will get a good approximation of the number of Phagocytes in the human body.Answer 6 billion times 5 = 30 billion.
