Answer 1

Doctors use a special thermometer called the clinical thermometer for measuring the temperature of the patient's body. This thermometer has the markings from 35° C to 42°C. It has a slight bend or kink in the stem above the bulb. This kink is called the constriction. This constriction prevents the mercury from falling back all by itself. The temperature of a healthy person is 37°C. This temperature is marked by a red arrow.
