what does a stethascope do??

Answer 1

the doctor uses it to listen to your heart . or your chest if you have a chest infection

Answer 2

It keeps the doctor from having to put his ear to your chest to listen for breath sounds and heart sounds, for one. Try rolling up a magazine or newspaper into a cylinder. Put your ear at one end and the other against somebody's chest. You can hear things you otherwise wouldn't. That's the idea (and the original stethoscopes were hollow wooden tubes).

Answer 3

Stethoscopes are used to hear sounds generated from within the body. They are used to listen to the heart, lungs and intestinal tract. They are also used for measuring blood pressure.

Answer 4

That big, round, flat piece amplifies small sounds. Doctors use it to listen to your heart and lungs.

Answer 5

A stethoscope mainly concists of 2 parts.

The one we put on you, called (I dunno in english) that enhances sounds, especially deep sounds, and the other (head set, lol) that transports the sound to our ear. At the same time, the ear plugs stop other sounds (most of them anyways) by interfering.

We use it to enhance sounds you can hear simply by putting your ear on the skin of your tummy or chest (well, since that's probably impossible, otherwise you're a very lucky girl, try it on someonte else).

I'd say, ask your doc. He/she'll probably let you try it yourself. It's pretty cool.
