1. What is the normal body temperature on the fahrenheit, celsius, and
kelvin scales?
2. What physical quantity changes with temperature in a thermistor? In
a thermocouple?
3. Consider a fever thermometer that contains 0.01 cm of mercury.
Find the diameter of the capillary if a 1'C change corresponds to a
level change of 0.5 cm. Assume the glass does not expand.
4. What techniques are used to increase the visibility of the small capil-
lary of a fever thermometer?
5. How does a thermographic unit measure skin temperature?
6. What are the two primary therapeutic effects of heating the body?
7. List four techniques for heating parts of the body.
8. How does ultrasonic diathermy differ from microwave diathermy?
9. How does a dewar container minimize heat transfer to a cryogenic
fluid?
10. (a) What is the optimum cooling rate for preserving red blood cells?
(b) At the optimum rate, how long would it take to cool red blood
cells from 37 to -196 C?
