Circulating Blood Mass

Circulating blood mass is an important indicator of human health. Every cell in the body needs sufficient oxygen and nutrients, and only through blood circulation is the necessary metabolism achieved. In addition, circulating blood provides protection to organs and tissues from infection and intoxication. Lack of oxygen provokes vascular and heart diseases, delayed cellular respiration and other serious consequences. That is why it is important to monitor the amount of blood circulating throughout the body and be able to correct any deviations in its condition.

Normally, in an adult man, the volume of arterial blood flow is approximately 500 ml/min, and in women - up to 450 ml. At the same time, in children, hematopoiesis rates differ from adults and increase: approximately thirty percent higher than in adults. Also, the fetal circulatory system continues to actively develop until the age of two. The condition of the blood largely determines its protective and other functions. Moreover, only 6 percent of the blood is in capillary-type vessels, which provide its nutrition and respiration (the rest lies in the “first” type vessels). However, this does not mean that blood circulation in the capillaries does not affect human health in any way and that other vital processes do not occur in his body. Not at all - it is thanks to hemodynamic processes that cells and their functions are constantly renewed, the independence of arterial and venous blood flow, and the metabolic functionality of the blood are ensured.

If a person has a normal mass of circulating blood, then he can fully exist physically and not get sick. If the blood volume drops, gas exchange is disrupted, weakness and lethargy appear, metabolic processes and blood circulation are disrupted. The extreme stage of these disorders is hypoxia (lack of oxygen), leading to loss of consciousness and the occurrence of convulsive phenomena. In advanced cases of hypoxia, death is possible. Therefore, it is necessary to control the mass of circulating blood.
