Syringe
![]() A syringe consists of a plunger fitted to a tube, called the barrel, which has a small opening on one end. Syringes are used to transfer small amounts of liquids or gasses to or from otherwise inaccesible areas. It operates on the principle of suction by filling the barrel with the subtance at the opening when the plunger is drawn out, and expelling the substance when the plunger is depressed. The process of administering a substance with a syringe and needle is called an injection. The word syringe comes from the Greek syrinx, which means "tube". ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
