in problems 1 through 4, identify the type of syringe shown in the figure.
place an arrow at the appropriate level of measurement on the syringe for the
volume given.

1. __________ syringe; 0.68 ml

1. __________ syringe; 5.6 ml

1. __________ syringe; 1.8 ml

1. __________ syringe; 4.4 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Identify syringe 1 type

The syringe has a maximum volume of 1.0 mL, so it is a 1 mL (tuberculin) syringe. Each major mark is 0.1 mL, and each small division is 0.01 mL. To mark 0.68 mL, place the arrow 8 small divisions past the 0.6 mL mark.

Step2: Identify syringe 2 type

The syringe has a maximum volume of 12 mL, so it is a 12 mL syringe. Each major mark is 1 mL, and each small division is 0.2 mL. To mark 5.6 mL, place the arrow 3 small divisions past the 5 mL mark.

Step3: Identify syringe 3 type

The syringe has a maximum volume of 3 mL, so it is a 3 mL syringe. Each major mark is 0.5 mL, and each small division is 0.1 mL. To mark 1.8 mL, place the arrow 3 small divisions past the 1.5 mL mark (or 8 small divisions past the 1 mL mark).

Step4: Identify syringe 4 type

The syringe has a maximum volume of 5 mL, so it is a 5 mL syringe. Each major mark is 1 mL, and each small division is 0.2 mL. To mark 4.4 mL, place the arrow 2 small divisions past the 4 mL mark.

Answer:

1. 1 mL (tuberculin) syringe; arrow placed 8 small divisions past the 0.6 mL mark
2. 12 mL syringe; arrow placed 3 small divisions past the 5 mL mark
3. 3 mL syringe; arrow placed 3 small divisions past the 1.5 mL mark
4. 5 mL syringe; arrow placed 2 small divisions past the 4 mL mark
