उत्तर
Doctors use a special thermometer called the clinical thermometer for measuring the temperature of the patient’s body. This thermometer has the markings from 35°C to 42°C. It has a slight bend or kink in the stem just above the bulb. This kink is called the constriction. This constriction prevents the mercury from falling back all by itself. The temperature of a healthy person is 37°C. This temperature is marked by a red arrow.
