What is the relationship between centiliters and cubic centimeters?

One centiliter equals 10 cubic centimeters, meaning the conversion is a simple multiplication by 10.

Why is cubic centimeter commonly used in medical measurements?

Cubic centimeters are equivalent to milliliters, making them convenient for dosing volumes in syringes and injections.

Can I use centiliters for precise laboratory measurements?

Centiliters provide approximate measurements; for precise lab work, cubic centimeters or milliliters are more suitable.
