- While studying, Gabby asks the dog: "Do you know how much blood, on average, passes through the human circulatory system in a day?" and answers herself, "That's right, twenty liters." This is incorrect. There are approximately 5 liters of blood in the human body. If Gabby were right, blood would circulate through the body only 4 times a day, or every 6 hours. The correct answer is about 6000 liters.
