There are approximately 1.5 gallons of blood in an average human body.
An adult heart is about the size of two intertwined fists. Each day an average heart beats 100,000 times and pumps 2,000 gallons of blood. During a lifetime, the heart will pump 1 million barrels of blood. A heart will beat 2.5 billion times in an 80-year life. The body contains 60,000 miles of blood vessels. Every year since 1900 (with the exception of 1918) heart disease has killed more Americans than any other disease.
