About 20-25% of the total cardiac output passes through the kidneys. In a healthy adult, this typically amounts to approximately 1 to 1.5 liters of blood per minute. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering this blood, regulating fluid and electrolyte balance, and maintaining overall homeostasis.
Circulation refers to the continuous movement of blood through the heart and blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues and remove waste products. While blood does pass through the kidneys as part of the circulatory system, circulation involves the entire cardiovascular system and not just the kidneys.

The heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver are the four major organs through which the blood passes in the body. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the lungs for oxygenation, then to the kidneys and liver for filtering and detoxification before circulating back to the heart.
Yes, nitrogenous waste, such as urea, is removed from the blood by filtration in the kidneys. As blood passes through the kidneys, waste products are filtered out into the urine, which is then excreted from the body.
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.
The renal fraction is the percentage of cardiac output that passes through the kidneys. It averages about 21%.

about 350 liters of blood pass in one day, so divide 350 liters by 24 which is about 14.5 liters per hour.
The renal ratio is a measurement of the speed at which urine passes through the kidneys and into the bladder.

urine comes from the kidneys where it travels through the ureters and is stored i nthe bladder. it then passes through the urethra and out of the body. ps: urine is liquid waste. good luck hope i helped! collecting duct, renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, urethra
