Human body temperature is well measured by
Human body temperature is well measured by
- A. A clinical thermometer
- B. A laboratory thermometer
- C. Thermostat
- D. Both A \& B can be used
Step-by-step solution
Clinical thermometers are specifically designed and calibrated to measure human body temperature accurately within a narrow range (typically 35°C to 42°C). Laboratory thermometers have a wider range but lack the precision and scale needed for body temperature. Thermostats are for regulation, not measurement. Therefore, a clinical thermometer is the correct choice.
