In pharmacy terminology, what does "ml" specifically measure?

  1. Mass of substance

  2. Measurement of volume

  3. Size of the container

  4. Measurement of length

The correct answer is: Measurement of volume

"ml," which stands for milliliter, specifically measures volume. This unit is commonly used in pharmacology and veterinary medicine to quantify the amount of liquid medication. One milliliter is equal to one cubic centimeter and is part of the metric system, allowing for precise dosing of medications in both human and veterinary healthcare. Understanding that "ml" indicates volume helps ensure that medications are administered accurately, which is crucial for effective treatment and patient safety. Other options are related to different measurement aspects: mass concerns weight, size of the container does not directly correspond to the liquid's volume, and measurement of length pertains to distance rather than the capacity of a fluid.
