The average blood flow through kidneys per minute is
- A1000 cc
- B1200 cc
- C200 cc
- D500 cc
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) 1200 cc
Explanation
The kidneys receive an average blood flow of about 1200 cc (1200 mL) per minute, roughly a quarter of the body's total cardiac output.
This high flow lets the kidney filter blood, maintain water balance and remove metabolic wastes as urine.
