A "cc" marking on a syringe is a marker to indicate the volume of the syringe when filled to that marker.

A "cc" is a cubic centimeter (cm3).

1 cc = 1 cm3 = 1 milliliter (or 1000 cc = 1 liter)

AnswerThis is an aside...in the book MASH, there was a character named Private Boone. He didn't have a lot of education, so everyone thought he was a bit slow. Anyway, Private Boone was tasked to monitor fluid intake and output of the patients, and had to record his measurements in cc's. After he was recording one cc per day or maybe two for some of the patients, they asked him and found out Private Boone thought cc stood for "cup of coffee."

Is 10 units in an insulin syringes the same as .01 cc in a TB syringes?

No, 10 units in an insulin syringe is not the same as 0.01 cc in a tuberculin (TB) syringe. Insulin syringes are calibrated specifically for insulin, where 100 units equals 1 cc, making 10 units equal 0.1 cc. In contrast, a TB syringe is typically calibrated in cc or mL, where 0.01 cc is equivalent to 1 unit in an insulin syringe.

what are the units of measure of a 1 cc syringe?

A 1 cc syringe measures volume in cubic centimeters (cc), which is equivalent to milliliters (mL). Therefore, it can also be expressed as 1 mL. The markings on the syringe typically indicate increments in tenths of a milliliter, allowing for precise measurements of liquid.

How does a 0.5 cc ventolin looks in a 5ml syringe?

A 0.5 cc (or 0.5 ml) dose of Ventolin in a 5 ml syringe will occupy a small portion of the syringe. The syringe is typically marked with graduation lines, allowing you to easily see the 0.5 cc mark. In this case, the liquid will fill up to the halfway point of the 1 ml mark on the syringe, appearing as a clear or slightly colored solution, depending on the formulation. The remaining space in the syringe will be empty.
