Answer 2

A clinical thermometer is made out of a long glass tube with a glass bulb at one end and a sealed other end.  

Explanation:

• Mercury is contained within the glass bulb.

• A Celsius scale is written on the glass tube. There's also a kink (or constriction) in the glass tube just above the mercury bulb.

• When the thermometer is removed from the patient's mouth, the kink prevents mercury from flowing back into the thermometer bulb.

• The kink stops the mercury level from decreasing, allowing us to properly assess the patient's temperature.
