ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -This vast system of blood vessels-arteries, veins, and capillaries-is over 60, 000 miles long. That’s long enough to go around the world more than twice! Blood flows continuously through your body’s blood vessels. Your heart is the pump that makes it all possible.

Detailed explanation-2: -By adulthood, we each have 60, 000 miles of blood vessels inside our bodies – that’s more than twice the distance around the world. Those vessels keep blood flowing, supplying your tissues with oxygen and nutrients, and keeping your organs, including the heart, healthy.

Detailed explanation-3: -The circulatory system is extremely long If you were to lay out all of the arteries, capillaries and veins in one adult, end-to-end, they would stretch about 60, 000 miles (100, 000 kilometers). What’s more, the capillaries, which are the smallest of the blood vessels, would make up about 80 percent of this length.

Detailed explanation-4: -With nearly one hundred billion neurons intermingled with 100, 000 miles of blood vessels, capillaries and other transport systems carrying 1.5 pints of blood per minute, the brain is one of the largest, busiest and most complex organs in the human body.

Detailed explanation-5: -The aorta is the largest blood vessel in your body. It’s more than 1 foot long and an inch in diameter at its widest point. As the aorta makes its way toward your pelvis, its diameter narrows to two centimeters.
