k Thermometer measuring hypothermia. Clinical thermometer calibrated in degrees Fahrenheit F and Celsius C, showing hypothermia. The temperature seen is below 95 F 35 C. A fall in body temperature to below 35 C is known as hypothermia, measured in the mouth, underarm or rectum. Hypothermia is caused by insufficient heating of the body. It leads to drowsiness, a lower breathing and heart rate, and may result in unconsciousness and even death. The thermometer consists of a sealed narrowbore glass tube with a bulb at one end. Mercury inside the tube expands when heated and extends along the scale. This thermometer measures temperatures of 94108 F. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
