We know that the brain only makes up a small percentage of the body in weight but has a large percentage of the blood. As a percentage how much blood is siphoned off the abdominal aorta during each heart beat for the kidneys to clean and filter

Each kidney contains about 1 million tiny tubes called nephrons. A little over 22 percent of the blood the heart pumps every second goes to the kidneys. This blood flows through a filter, called a glomerulus, in the nephron. Red blood cells, white blood cells and large substances like protein don't normally pass through the glomerulus but rather stay in the body. The fluid that goes through the filter is made up of water, electrolytes and other small substances.
