Answer 2

Answer:

Mercury-in-Glass Thermometer.

Mercury-in-glass thermometers are discussed because they have been used extensively in the past both institutionally and in research. However, there is a growing trend nationally and internationally to phase out or ban the use of mercury thermometers and other equipment containing mercury, such as sphygmomanometers, because of the toxicity of mercury to the individual and the environment. There are currently at least 10 states in the United States that have banned the sale of mercury thermometers. Local city and county ordinances banning mercury thermometers are also in effect in certain areas. In practice, electronic, tympanic membrane, and single-use thermometers will be encountered much more commonly than the mercury-in-glass thermometer.

Mercury-in-glass thermometers consist of a sealed glass tube calibrated in degrees Centigrade and/or degrees Fahrenheit, with a mercury-filled reservoir at one end. The mercury in the reservoir expands with increased temperature, climbing higher up the thermometer, and it contracts and recedes as the temperature falls. Mercury-in-glass thermometers generally have one of three different tips: Slim (oral or axillary) tip, the short-rounded tip (also known as stubby), and the pear-shaped (rectal) tip
