Answer: rectal
The rectal or vaginal temperature is generally considered to give the most accurate assessment of core body temperature particularly in hypothermia. In the early 2000s …
Temperature scales differ in two ways: the point chosen as zero degrees and the magnitudes of incremental units or degrees on the scale. The Celsiusscale (°C) is used for common temperature measurements in most of the world. It is an empirical scale that was developed by historical progress which led to its zero points 0 °C being defined by the freezing point of water and additional degrees defined so that 100 °C was the boiling point of wa…
The armpit ( axilla) temperature is measured by holding the thermometer tightly under the armpit. One needs to hold the thermometer for several minutes to get an …
The period for which reasonably reliable instrumental records of near-surface temperature exist with quasi-global coverage is generally considered to begin …
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or a temperature gradient (the degree of hotness or coldness of an object). A thermometer has two important elements: (1) a temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer) in which some cha…
