How many liters of blood does a normal person pump per minute?

A

normal person's heart pumps about 5 to 6 liters of blood per minute.

This is because the heart is the driving organ of blood circulation. It pushes blood through the whole body by contracting and relaxing. Each time the heart contracts, it pumps blood into the aorta and then through various arteries to various parts of the body. The number of heart beats per minute is called heart rate. The heart rate of a normal adult is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. The amount of blood pumped by the heart is called stroke volume, which is about 70 ml in normal adults. Therefore, the product of heart rate and stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute, which is usually 5 to 6 liters.

It

should be noted that the pumping function of the heart can be affected by many factors, such as age, gender, physical condition, exercise status, etc. In some cases, such as heart disease, anemia, lung disease, etc., the pumping function of the heart may be impaired, resulting in insufficient pumping of blood or insufficient blood supply. Therefore, people with heart disease or other health problems need to seek medical attention in time for detailed examination and treatment to ensure the health and normal function of the heart.
