Description
A stethoscope is a medical instrument used by healthcare professionals to listen to internal sounds of a patient’s body, such as heartbeats, lung sounds, and blood flow. It consists of a chest piece, which contains one or two microphones (diaphragm and bell), tubing, and earpieces.
Key Components:
Chest Piece: Includes a diaphragm (for high-frequency sounds) and a bell (for low-frequency sounds). Some stethoscopes have a dual-head design with both components.
Tubing: Connects the chest piece to the earpieces, transmitting sound from the body to the listener.
Earpieces: Fit into the healthcare provider’s ears to deliver the amplified sounds.
