Explanation
Blood is a liquid connective tissue. It continuously circulates inside blood vessels through different organs. In humans, the amount of blood is about 7 to 8 percent of body weight. Therefore, in a healthy adult of about 70 kg body weight, there are approximately 5 to 6 litres of blood, which is about one-thirteenth of the total body weight.
