We jerk a clinical thermometer to ensure that the Mercury or alcohol inside is at the lowest point on the scale before use. This makes sure that we get an accurate measurement of body temperature when placed in the mouth, under the arm, or in the rectum. Jerking the thermometer helps to reset the mercury column to the starting position for a new reading.

What is the mercury called on a clinical thermometer?
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is called mercury. It is used to measure body temperature by expanding and rising within the thermometer.
What is the temperature range of a clinical thermometer?
The average temperature in a clinical thermometer is from approximately 35 degrees to 42 degrees.
Which feature belongs to a clinical thermometer?
what characteristic belongs to a clinical thermometer
Why does a clinical thermometer have a kink?
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.
Does a clinical thermometer have a linear scale?
Yes, a clinical thermometer typically has a linear scale. This means that the temperature readings on the thermometer increase or decrease in a consistent and straight line fashion as the temperature changes.
What is the most used thermometer?
Clinical Thermometer
Which apparatus is more accurate clinical thermometer or laboratory thermometer?
Lab thermometer.
Mention any two points of difference between a clinical thermometer and an ordinary mercury 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.
Why is the clinical thermometer shorter than the laboratry thermometer?
becouse the clinical themometer s showing the aswr quickly
What liquid is found in a clinical thermometer?
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.
What are the two main types of thermometer used today?

What are the four different types of thermometer?
1. Clinical Thermometer 2. Laboratory Thermometer 3.
What is the temperature range of a clinical thermometer?

What is the difference of a clinical thermometer and a laboratory thermometer?
I'm glad you asked me about the difference between a clinical thermometer and a laboratory thermometer. They are both used to measure temperature, but they have some key differences. Here are the main differences between clinical and laboratory thermometers: Temperature range: Clinical thermometers are designed to measure human body temperature, which is typically between 35°C and 42°C. Laboratory thermometers, on the other hand, can measure a wider range of temperatures, from -10°C to 110°C. Least count: The least count is the smallest change in temperature that the thermometer can detect. Clinical thermometers typically have a least count of 0.1°C, while laboratory thermometers can have a least count of 0.01°C or even smaller. Construction: Clinical thermometers are typically made of glass, while laboratory thermometers can be made of glass or metal. Usage: Clinical thermometers are meant to be used by people to measure their own body temperature or the temperature of another person. Laboratory thermometers are used by scientists and technicians to measure the temperature of objects or substances in a laboratory setting. Here's a fictional anecdote from my personal experience: When I was in medical school, I was working in the emergency room one night when a patient came in with a fever. I took her temperature with a clinical thermometer and it was 40°C. I knew that this was a dangerously high fever, so I immediately started her on antibiotics. The next day, her fever had gone down and she was feeling much better. This experience taught me the importance of using the right thermometer for the job. If I had used a laboratory thermometer, I might not have been able to detect the patient's fever as quickly, and she might have gotten worse. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
