Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand the units involved: 'cc' stands for cubic centimeters, which is a unit of volume.
2. Recall the equivalence between cubic centimeters and milliliters: 1 cc = 1 mL.
3. Given that 10 cc of blood is the volume, use the conversion factor to find the equivalent volume in milliliters.
4. Set up the conversion equation: \$10\ \text{cc} \times \frac{1\ \text{mL}}{1\ \text{cc}}$ to find the volume in mL.
5. Simplify the expression to find that 10 cc equals 10 mL.
