In an otherwise healthy person with no cardiac problems, 100-120 cc's/mLs of unfiltered blood enter each kidney and are filtered at the glomerulus per minute. 99% of this is reabsorbed in the tubules, and thus only about .5cc is sent to the bladder per minute. Thus it is true that the average person forms 30cc urine per hour.

What processes take place during the period after the blood enters the kidneys till the urine leaves the body?
Blood flows to the kidney through the renal artery. Once in the kidney the blood flows through a series of smaller and smaller arteries until it gets to the glomerulus. The glomerulus filters blood and to be very simplistic creates a filtrate of the blood or "urine". This urine then flows through a series of progressively bigger tubules and ducts until it gets to the renal pelvis. At this point urine exits the kidney, it enters the ureter (long tube connecting kidney and bladder), and flows into the bladder where it is held until one desires to urinate. At this time urine flows out of the bladder and into the urethra. The urethra connects the bladder to the outside of the body.

How is urea transported from liver to the kidney?
Urea enters the hepatic vein and then goes the the right and then left side of the heart.
