The barrel of the syringe is where the cc (cubic centimeters) or mL (milliliters) measurement is shown. This part of the syringe has labeled markings to help accurately measure and administer liquids. Remember, 1 cc is equivalent to 1 mL. These units are crucial for ensuring the correct dosage is administered, whether it's medical or laboratory use. Ensure the liquid level aligns with the appropriate marking to avoid dosage mistakes.
