METRIC SYSTEM

The metric system is the measurement system used by most of the world in general and by the entire scientific community including the medical professions.  The metric system is much simpler once you "get the hang of it."  The relationship among units within the metric system is all base ten just like our number system and to a large extent our money system.

The following are some links about the metric system that may be helpful.
