Because those limits will cover the temperature of most humans. 34oC is only 93.2oF and 41oC is 105.8oF. The 'normal' temperature for a healthy adult is 37oC or 98.4oF - which falls roughly half-way between the upper and lower limits of a clinical thermometer.

Below 34C and above 41C one is in danger of death so help is needed immediately and there is no need in early diagnosis to know temperatures below or above that

What is 325 degrees celsius in kelvin?

The temperature 325 K is equal to about 51.85 °C The starting point (zero) for Kelvin is at -273.15 °C, so any temperature in Kelvin has a value 273.15 less on the Celsius scale. Similarly, Celsius temperatures are increased by that amount when expressed in kelvins. The two scales use the same size for a degree, unlike the Fahrenheit scale.
