CPCT Medical Terminology Practice Test

ML stands for a unit of volume in the metric system called a milliliter. A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter and equals 1 cubic centimeter (1 mL = 1 cm^3). It’s the standard unit used in medicine and lab work for measuring liquids, such as dosages or IV fluids. It’s not a unit of mass or length, and describing something as a “measurement of volume” isn’t naming a unit—the name of the unit here is milliliter.
