Do you lose muscle tissue when you donate blood?
I always feel a little weaker after giving blood. I think it's just because your body is using up whatever it can to rebuild the blood stores. You should be back to normal soon, and it will be nice new blood. But no, you do not lose muscle tissue when you donate blood. ChaCha on!

About Blood
The average adult has about five liters of blood inside of their body, coursing through their vessels, delivering essential elements, and removing harmful wastes. Without blood, the human body would stop working. Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissue and carbon dioxide from the body tissue to the lungs. Blood is the fluid of growth, transporting nourishment from digestion and hormones from glands throughout the body. Blood is the fluid of health, transporting disease fighting substances to the tissue and waste to the kidneys.
