Answer:
A medical thermometer (also called clinical thermometer) is used for measuring human or animal body temperature.
Explanation:
- The tip of the thermometer is inserted into the mouth under the tongue (oral or sub-lingual temperature), under the armpit (axillary temperature), or into the rectum via the anus (rectal temperature).
- Leave the thermometer in place for 3 minutes.
- Their main disadvantage is that they are fairly easy to break and if they do, it results in small splinters of glass and the release of mercury which is quite toxic if absorbed into the body.
