How is the volume of a syringe measured?

The volume of a syringe is measured in milliliters. This measurement is widely used in medical and pharmaceutical settings because it provides a precise way to determine the volume of liquids, such as medications or vaccines, to be administered. Milliliters are particularly suitable for small volumes, which is common in syringe use, ensuring accurate dosing.

While centimeters are a unit of length and would not be applicable here, ounces and liters, although they are units of volume, are not commonly used for the small volumes typically associated with syringes. Ounces are more associated with larger liquid quantities, and liters are generally used for larger volumes, making milliliters the most appropriate and standard unit for syringe measurement.
