Heat, Cold Flashcards
In medicine
What is the matter?
Matter is composed of molecules that are in
motion.
How the molecular in gas or liquid move?
In a gas or liquid the molecules move
about, hitting one another or the walls of the
container, even in a solid the molecules have
some motion about the sites that they occupy
within the crystal structure
What mean the molecules move ?
that they have kinetic
energy.
What kinetic energy is related ?
kinetic energy is related with temperature.
The average kinetic energy of the molecules
directly proportional to the temp. T or F
( T ) because directly
What can you do to order to increase the temp. of a gas?
necessary to increase the average kinetic
energy of its molecules by putting the gas in
contact with a flame.
What can cause energy transferred from the flame to the gas ?
causing the temp. rise is called heat .
Are the temperature measure directly is easy or difficult?
is difficult to measure directly.
How measure the temperature indirectly?
measure it indirectly by measuring one of physical properties that change with temp.
What the most common way to measure temp?
is
with
a glass fever thermometer
containing
mercury or alcohol.
What the factors that increase the visibility of the capillary in thermometer?
1-the glass case acts as magnifying glass.
2- an opaque white backing is used to
increase the visibility.
What can do to avoid liquid to return when the temp.
falls in thermometer?
The capillary of a fever thermometer has a
restriction just above the bulb so that after
the liquid is forced into the stem by
expansion.
Where is usually the temperature taken ?
underneath the
tongue or
in the rectum
thermometer is …..than the body, it
lowers the temp of the surrounding ……. .
- Colder
2. tissues first
it takes one hour before the temp. of
the tissues rises to the original value.(T ,F)
(F) several minutes
