kink
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is called Mercury. It is used to measure body temperature by expanding and rising within the thermometer.
Mercury does not fall or rise in a clinical thermometer when taken out from the mouth because of the KINK present in it.
The kink in a clinical thermometer prevents the mercury from falling back down when the thermometer is removed from the body. It ensures that the highest temperature reached is recorded until it is reset.
The kink in a clinical thermometer prevents the column of mercury from falling back down when the thermometer is removed from the patient's body, allowing for an accurate temperature reading to be taken and read.
A digital thermometer uses electronic sensors to measure temperature and displays the reading on a screen, while a clinical thermometer contains a liquid (like mercury) that expands or contracts with temperature changes. Digital thermometers are typically faster and more accurate, while clinical thermometers are being phased out due to risks associated with the handling and disposal of mercury.

A clinical thermometer will offer more precise calibrated readings than a mercury thermometer. The range of measurable temperature differs between a clinical and a mercury thermometer with the mercury thermometer having the wider range.
Mercury does not fall or rise in a clinical thermometer when taken out from the mouth because of the KINK present in it.
Mercury can be found in the labarotry or in the clinical thermometer.
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.

Mercury is used in clinical thermometers.
Mercury expand more easily.so it need large space
We cannot use a clinical thermometer to measure temperature of a candle flame because then the mercury will expand too much and the thermometer will explode.
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
The kink in a mercury or alcohol clinical thermometer helps to prevent the mercury or alcohol from flowing back into the bulb once the thermometer is removed from a patient's body. This ensures that the maximum temperature reached during measurement is retained for reading.
