*💫Temperature🌸* in the human body can be measured at different sites, each providing slightly different readings. The main sites include: *1. Oral (Mouth)* Measured using a digital or mercury thermometer placed under the tongue. *Normal range:* 97.6–99.6°F (36.5–37.5°C). *2. Rectal (Anus)* Provides the most accurate internal body temperature. *Normal range:* 98.6–100.3°F (37–37.9°C). Often used for infants and critically ill patients. *3. Axillary (Armpit)* Less accurate than oral or rectal readings. *Normal range* : 96.6–98.6°F (35.9–37°C). Commonly used for quick, non-invasive checks. 4. *Tympanic (Ear)* Uses an infrared thermometer to measure temperature from the eardrum. *Normal range* : 97.2–100°F (36.2–37.8°C). Can be affected by earwax or improper placement. *5. Temporal (Forehead)* Uses an infrared thermometer to measure temperature from the temporal artery. *Normal range* : 97.8–100.1°F (36.5–37.8°C).
