How long does it take for your blood to travel around your body?

Answer 1

In a heartbeat.

Actually I'm pretty sure it takes about one minute because one red blood cell takes a 2 loop cycle before it has made it all around the body. this cycle consists of loop one, taking oxygen poor blood from he heart to the lungs were it obtains oxygen and releases carbon dioxide then goes back the the heart, and loop two, arteries taking oxygen rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body were it goes into one red blood cell thick capillaries then into veins were it goes to the heart to start loop one again.

Maybe it's about 30 seconds ish...

Answer 2

An average non athlitic person's heart will pump about 5 litres of blood per ventricle. per minute. (We Have 2 ventricles) That's 10 litres per minute. The average 160 lbs man has about 4.7 litres of blood in his body. So if we do the math what do we get class?4.7/10=2.12 That means your blood will travel thru your body 2.12 times every minute. Now an athletic person's heart can pump up to twice this amount. (20 litres per minute. However people that are in peak physical shape usually have a much slower heart rate. The average persons heart will beat 72 times a minute as compaired to someone that trains for marathons whos heartrate could be as low as 45 beats per minute. It all works out to be the same with the exception that someone in good shape has a heart that has to work a lot less to accomplish the same task. Your heart has only so many beats it's good for. The harder it works the faster it will quit working.

Answer 3

For a person at rest, it takes just about one minute. If you are more active, it will take less time. Exactly how long depends on several things: the rate at which your heart beats, how big your heart is, and, to a certain extent, how big you are as well.

A person's heart beats about 65 to 75 times a minutes. This is called the beat rate. With each beat, the heart pumps about 60 to 70 milliliters of blood. If you multiply the two values together, you find that the cardiovascular output is just about four to five liters per minute.

Answer 4

The?æblood travels through the body at various rates depending on how fast the heart is pumping. An average round trip takes about one minute.

Answer 5

For a person at rest, the blood goes once around your body in one minute.

Answer 6

When at rest, it takes about one minute.

Answer 7

less than 1 min.

Answer 8

1-2 minutes

Answer 9

4 days
