exists and is an alternate of . There are 1000 meters in a kilometer. The prefix kilo- means 1000. kilobyte is roughly one thousand bytes of storage (used because 210, or 1024, is the power of two closest to 1000 bytes: it is easily close enough to one thousand, or one kilo-, for describing computer storage in general terms).
The fibers that enter the spinal cord below the sixth thoracic segment form the gracile fasciculus (gracile tract), and fibers that enter the cord above the sixth thoracic segment are located laterally and form the cuneate fasciculus (cuneate tract). The gracile fasciculus (historically termed the tract of Goll) is present throughout the length of the spinal cord; it contains afferents from the lower trunk and extremities below the T6 spinal cord segment.
A glomerulus is a network (as a tuft) of capillaries located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. It serves as the first stage in the filtering process of the blood carried out by the nephron in its formation of urine.he rate of filtration from the glomerulus to the Bowman's capsule is determined (like in systemic capillaries) by the Starling equation 1  : GFR is the glomerular filtration rate. 2  K f is the filtration coefficient â a proportionality constant. 3  P gc is the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure.
