The "average body" is a 154 lb (70 kg) male. I believe the answer is an "unbelievable" 100,000 miles.

A book that I have, written by the American Heart Assoc. (the book is probably 30-40 years old), said 62,000 miles of blood vessels in the average human body.

Another book that I have (probably written before WWII), said 36,000 miles.

This includes every vessel, down to the small capillaries in the lungs, brain, liver, kidney etc.

Yeah the average amount of miles of the adult circulatory system is 100,000 miles-it could go round the world four times and reach half to the moon.

Humans have enough blood vessels to go around the earth's equator 2 and a half times.

About 62,000 miles.

What is the total length of capillaries in the human cardiovascular system?

From ventricle to ventricle, there are more than 50 miles worth of capillaries in which the heart pumps blood around the body.(edt) The various sources I consulted were rather vague on the subject, but I've seen estimates around 60,000 miles (or 100,000 km) in children, and 100,000 miles (161,000 km) in adults for the total length of blood vessels in general. True, this includes arteries and veins also, but most of that length would still be capillaries. Therefore it should be way more than 50 miles...

Some people say there are millions of arteries in the human body. One source says there are so many arteries in the body that if you laid them end to end, they would be about 60,000 miles long.
