A laboratory thermometer is not used to measure body temperature because it has a wide range and low sensitivity, which makes it unsuitable for accurately measuring the narrow temperature range of the human body.

  1. A laboratory thermometer is not suitable for measuring body temperature because it is designed to measure a wide range of temperatures with less sensitivity. Body temperature requires a precise and narrower range, typically around 35°C to 42°C. Laboratory thermometers often have a scale that is not fine enough for accurate body temperature readings. For this purpose, a clinical thermometer, which is specifically calibrated for the narrow temperature range of the human body, is used.
