The temperature of human body is measured with the help of a clinical thermometer which can measure temperatures in range of 35°C to 42°C. To measure the temperature a person has to hold the tip of the thermometer either under the armpit or in the mouth under his tongue for a minute. Then we observe the number against the point at which the mercury column stop rising further. This number indicates the body temperature of the person.The temperature of a healthy human body is approximately 37°C.
