Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of blood volume: Blood volume refers to the total amount of blood circulating within the body, which is influenced by factors such as body size, sex, and overall health.

Recognize the physiological differences between males and females: On average, males tend to have a larger body size and greater muscle mass compared to females, which contributes to a higher blood volume.

Recall the average blood volume values: In general, males have an average blood volume of approximately 5-6 liters, while females typically have an average blood volume of about 4-5 liters. This difference is due to variations in body composition and size.

Eliminate incorrect options: Based on the physiological differences, the options stating that females have the same or higher blood volume than males, or no measurable difference, can be ruled out.

Conclude that the correct answer is: 'Females generally have a lower blood volume than males,' as this aligns with the known physiological differences in average blood volume between sexes.
