To prevent injecting an air bubble into your blood, which can kill you.
When you apply force to the plunger of a syringe containing a plastic bubble, you increase the pressure inside the syringe. This pressure compresses the air within the bubble, causing it to shrink and crumple. The plastic bubble's inability to withstand the increased pressure results in its deformation, as it is forced to occupy a smaller volume. Ultimately, the bubble collapses due to the imbalance between the internal pressure and the surrounding pressure.
An air bubble in a syringe can be injected into a vein, in which case it can cause an "embolus" or blockage. If the bubble gets stuck in the heart, it can cause a heart attack; an embolus in the brain causes a stroke. Either can kill within moments.
Injecting air into the heart can cause an air embolism, which is a life-threatening condition that occurs when an air bubble blocks blood flow in a blood vessel. This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, cardiac arrest. Immediate medical attention is required to remove the air from the heart and prevent further complications.
Air pressure helps in pulling medicine from a syringe by creating a difference in pressure between the inside of the syringe and the atmosphere outside. When the plunger is pulled back, it increases the volume inside the syringe, reducing the pressure. This lower pressure allows the higher atmospheric pressure to push the liquid medicine into the syringe, facilitating the withdrawal of the medication. Essentially, the pressure gradient created by the plunger movement enables the liquid to flow into the syringe easily.
A syringe is similar to a balloon in effect on pressure. The more air you insert, the less space for fluid. The more pressure exerted on it, the less volume of air and the more the liquid would fill up the space.
to avoid loss of drug as , after complete injection the air bubble remain inside the needle, not the drug
when you push the plunger are the air particles closer together in the syringe or in the bubble
If you push down on the plunger of a syringe filled with air, the air inside the syringe will be compressed and the pressure will increase. Depending on how much force you apply, the air may be expelled through the needle if the pressure exceeds what the syringe can hold.

One easy way to prove that air occupies space is by using a syringe. When you draw air into the syringe and then close the opening, you will notice that the plunger is pushed out slightly, showing that air takes up space. This demonstrates that air, like any other matter, has volume and fills the space it is in.
When injected into a vein, the air bubble(s) can cut off circulation to any blood vessel smaller than it.

Tapping a syringe causes any air bubbles to collect at the highest point in the syringe, and usually done when pointing it upwards. This makes removing air bubbles easier, which makes the syringe's use safer.
To test if air is compressed using a syringe, pull the plunger out to create a vacuum inside the syringe. Then, push the plunger in quickly. If the air inside the syringe is compressed, you should feel resistance when trying to push the plunger in. If the air is not compressed, the plunger will move easily.
Depends on the size of the air bubble, your body will absorb air that comes into the vein, but if the bubble is too big it cannot be absorbed and if it reaches your heart you will die. There is a practice called 'Packing testosterone'. Body builders who inject testosterone will actually put a small air bubble in the syringe which helps pack the testosterone into the muscle for optimum performance. This however is a very small amount. A little air in the vein is fine. This is something that you should never try alone, heck I wouldn't try it period lol! There are some cases where at the hospital and they put in the IV there is bubbles that will get in the line, this is perfectly fine because your blood absorbs it quickly. A syringe full of air injected into your vein would most likely get pumped to your heart and cause a massive heart attack.
