The liquid in a clinical thermometer is called mercury. It is used to measure body temperature by expanding and rising within the thermometer.
The constriction in a clinical thermometer allows for expansion and contraction of the liquid inside without separating the column of liquid. This ensures accurate temperature readings by preventing the liquid from breaking and forming air bubbles.
a lab thermometer did not have a constriction as compared to clinical thermometer. it have a wide range of measurement and usually contains alcohol
Mercury can be found in the labarotry or in the clinical thermometer.
Yes, a clinical thermometer is a type of analog thermometer. Analog thermometers use a liquid-filled bulb to measure temperature and display the reading on a scale marked with numbers. Clinical thermometers are typically designed for measuring human body temperature and often come with a narrow range of temperatures suitable for this purpose.
The bend in a clinical thermometer allows the mercury or alcohol to stay in the measuring part of the thermometer for longer, ensuring an accurate reading. It prevents the column of liquid from dropping too quickly when removed from the body, providing a more stable and precise measurement.
Clinical Thermometer
Lab thermometer.
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.

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 works by measuring body temperature through the expansion or contraction of a temperature-sensitive liquid, such as mercury or alcohol, inside a sealed glass tube. As body temperature rises, the liquid in the thermometer expands and moves up the tube, indicating the temperature. Conversely, when body temperature decreases, the liquid contracts and moves down the tube.
