Red Blood Cells (RBCs) make up approximately 40% of Blood volume, carry oxygen to the cells of your body and return to the lungs to excrete carbon dioxide. Platelets, the smallest of the Blood cells; make up 5% to 7% of total Blood volume. Platelets form a 'mesh' net to form clots in the Blood to help stop bleeding.

Scientists estimate the volume of blood in a human body to be approximately 7 percent of body weight. An average adult body with a weight of 150 to 180 pounds will contain approximately 4.7 to 5.5 liters (1.2 to 1.5 gallons) of blood. An average child with a body weight of 80 pounds will have approximately half the amount of blood as an adult. Blood carries out many critical functions in the body.

Physiological saline = 0.9% NaCl = 0.9 gram NaCl/100 ml water. Total blood weight = 7.0 % of body weight (BW) (an overall average) Density of blood (and water)= 1 kg/liter or 1 gram/ml (these values are rounded from real value of 1.05 kg/liter-for blood) Normal PCV = 45 % (an overall average) One gallon = 3.8 liters = 8.3 lbs. = 4 quarts (qts.) = 8 pints (pts.) = 16 cups = 128 fluid oz.
