Case study:

Read the passage and answer the following questions:


Some things feel hot when touched while others feel cold. So, our sense of touch tells us whether
a thing is hot or cold. But does it always give us accurate results? A reliable measure of the
hotness
of an object is its temperature. Temperature is measured by a device called a thermometer. The
thermometer used to measure human body temperature is known as clinical thermometer. A
clinical thermometer is made up of a long and narrow glass tube. It has a special feature called a
kink just above the mercury bulb.

1. What is the normal body temperature of a healthy person?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. a) How much time thermometer should be kept with patient to get correct reading?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
b) to which degree clinical thermometer can measure temperature accurately?

4. What is the use of kink in a clinical thermometer?
