I read that an adult human body has 60,000 miles of blood vessels inside their body. How is that even possible?

Question

I cant make sense of it in my head.

Answer 1

The vast vast majority of your blood vessels aren’t arteries or veins, it is capillaries. Microscopic vessels barely wide enough for red blood cells to travel through single file that essentially weave between every layer of cells in your body.

You can hold 600ft of twine in your hand. You need a forklift to hold 600ft of hose.
