What is a "stethoscope"?
A stethoscope is a medical tool used by healthcare professionals to listen to the sounds inside the body, such as the heart and lungs. It includes a small and round piece connected to flexible tubing and earpieces. The round piece is placed on the patient's skin, and the sounds from the body travel through the tubing to the earpieces, allowing healthcare providers to check and monitor various bodily functions and conditions. Stethoscopes are essential in medical examinations for diagnosing and evaluating patients' health.
