Where is the needle attached on a syringe?

The needle is attached at the tip of the syringe. This is where the needle connects and allows for the drawing up and dispensing of fluids. The tip is specifically designed to securely hold the needle in place, ensuring that it remains properly aligned and sealed during use. When using a syringe, it's important for the tip to maintain a tight fit with the needle to prevent any leakage of the substance being administered or drawn.

The barrel refers to the cylindrical body of the syringe that holds the medication or fluid, while the plunger is the part that is pushed down to expel the contents of the barrel through the needle. The body of the syringe is a broader term that may refer to the entire structure but does not specifically indicate where the needle attaches. Thus, the correct identification of the needle’s attachment point is at the tip.
