The amount of blood in a human body varies, of course, with the size of that body. Over the range of sizes we usually encounter for average people, this is approximately 7% of body weight. And the density of whole blood, again on average, is about 1.06 grams/ml. So, for example, if a person weighs 185 lbs, in kilograms this converts to about 84 kg body size. Taking 7% of this gives 5.87 kg of blood.
You know what blood is â it's that red stuff that oozes out if you get a paper cut. The average person has about 1 to 1Â½ gallons (4-6 liters) of it.

To make blood, your body needs to mix: 1  red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. 2  white blood cells, which fight infections. 3  platelets, which are cells that help you stop bleeding if you get a cut. 4  plasma, a yellowish liquid that carries nutrients, hormones, and proteins throughout the body.
