How does blood get from the heart to the kidneys to be filtered?
Blood flows from the heart to the kidneys through the renal arteries, which branch off the aorta. Once in the kidneys, blood enters tiny blood vessels called glomeruli, where it is filtered to remove waste and excess fluids. The filtered blood then exits the kidneys through the renal veins back to the heart.

How long for entire blood supply to be filtered?
A person's kidneys receive about 20% of the heart's cardiac output (~1200mL/min). A person has about 6 - 8L of blood depending on gender, body size, etc. So on average it will take about 5 - 7 minutes for a person's entire blood volume to reach the kidneys. But once the blood reaches the kidneys, it is the glomeruli that filters the blood. The average glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is 125mL/min or 180L/ 24hr. So it takes about 45 min - 1 hour for 6 - 8L of blood to be filtered.
What vessels that carry blood from aorta to kidneys?
