What are the starting points for the 400M and 1600M relay?

Alrite does the leadoff guy for the 1600 relay start at the same spot as a regular 400 runner does. Do they go the same distance or do they go a lil farther? A guy who leads off for the 1600 meter relay I hear goes like 405-410 meters instead. I am confused plz let me know! Thanks
