SYRINGES Meaning and
Definition
-
A syringe is a medical instrument consisting of a barrel-shaped tube with a narrow, hollow needle attached to one end. It is primarily used for injecting or withdrawing fluids from the body. Syringes come in various sizes, typically ranging from 1 mL to 50 mL, with markings on the barrel to accurately measure the volume of the fluid being injected or withdrawn.
The barrel of a syringe is usually made of plastic or glass and has a plunger that can be moved back and forth inside, creating suction or pressure depending on the direction of movement. This enables the precise control of fluid quantities during medical procedures, such as administering medications, vaccinations, or drawing blood.
The needle is a sharp, slender, and hollow metal tube attached to the end of the barrel. It serves as the conduit for the fluid to enter or exit the body. Syringe needles vary in size and length according to their specific purpose, such as intravenous (IV), subcutaneous (sub-Q), or intramuscular (IM) injections.
Syringes are hygienic medical devices, often single-use and disposable, designed to prevent the transfer of pathogens and infections between patients. They play a critical role in healthcare settings and are essential tools for medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.

Etymology of SYRINGES
The word "syringes" is derived from the Late Latin word "siringa", which means "pipe" or "hollow reed". The Latin word was borrowed from the Greek word "syrikē", which also means "pipe" or "tube".
