Russian term or phrase: носик

Он сказал после этого, чтобы ему долили этот миллимиллитр. Тогда тот, кто выбирал весь раствор из пузырька, сказал, что он ему добавит. После этого тот, кому не досталась часть раствора, снял иголку со своего шприца и протянул его тому в положении носиком вверх, кто выбирал раствор из своего пузырька, засунул в носик иголку своего шприца и надавив на поршень, слил в шприц одну каплю.

The dictionary gives "spout", but that suggests an asymmetrical bit that you pour through. But as far as I know, the top of a syringe is perfectly round. Is it? In that case, what is носик? And why did he take the needle off? Wouldn't everything drain out if there's no needle?

syringe tip

Explanation:
Fill the syringe completely with the saltwater. Insert the syringe tip just inside your nostril and pinch your nostril around the tip...

the size of the syringe tip opening may still allow too much fluid for them to swallow safely with each small push of the plunger.

No, it wouldn\'t. He kept the syringe with its tip up, so it shouldn\'t drain off, IMO.

In the disposable syringes the plunger is always there, I don\'t think you can take it out - there\'s a stopper there or something to prevent it from going out. So I guess you may say that it serves as a plug, yes.

носик opening

Explanation:

He took the needle off so that the other guy could transfer some of the stuff into his syringe.

носик end

Explanation:
End of the syringe. Maybe "носик" is not the best word to describe this part of the syringe.

I think one word in the Russian passage is missing.

...[И ТОТ], кто выбирал раствор из своего пузырька, засунул в носик иголку своего шприца и надавив на поршень, слил в шприц одну каплю.

...the one who did not get his fair share of the solution removed the needle from his syringe and held it (the syringe) out to him with the [syringe] end uppermost [AND THE PERSON] who was the last to draw the solution from the vial inserted the needle of his syringe into the opening and, pressing the plunger, expelled one drop into the syringe.

Here\'s a detailed description of syringes.

I think in their situation it is the only way they can add one drop of solution from one syringe into the other. If the plunger is removable it is possible to add the solution from the other side of the syringe but the liquid will be spilled if you hold the syringe with the needle down (unless you replace the plastic caps on the needles which I think they have already thrown out before extracting the liquid from the vial). Removing the needle is the easiest way to share that precious drop of addictive drug...

The correct name for that part of the syringe the needle is attached to is \"наконечник\" (end, tip), not \"носик\".
