HUMAN NUTRITION

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!

Detailed explanation-2: -If you could unwrap all the arteries, veins, and capillaries in the human body and line them up end to end, 60, 000 miles or so is the distance all these vessels would cover and the distance blood needs to flow to provide oxygen and nutrients to all the body’s tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -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: -The circulatory system does a very important job in your body. It carries oxygen and essential nutrients to all cells around the body in arteries and carries the waste products and carbon dioxide in veins. The average human body contains over 60, 000 miles of blood vessels.
