How many capillaries are there in the glomerulus?

Answer 1

A crude estimate using fluid dynamics gives 1.92x10^9. So around 2 billion.

However, this source says the normal range of physiological estimates is 3.2×1010-4.2×1010, which is 32 to 42 billion (http://www.springerlink.com/content/7x55l04161513q15/)
