Q

what percentage of plasma entering the glomerulus get filtered? why?

A

about 20% BECAUSE filtration takes time. if 100% of the plasma got filtered every time it entered the glomerulus, there would be no blood available for the rest of the body. So, the glomerulus filters only 20% at a time with the idea that eventually all of the blood will get filtered as it gets recirculated throughout the body.
