Medical professionals use a lot of lingo that the lay person doesn't understand and the doctor or midwife doesn't think twice about it so ask if you don't understand. a long cervix is quite normal.
The fan or fans should run when the coolant temperature in the radiator is above the temperature of the thermostat for your vehicle. Probably around 190 degrees. The answer should be in your operators manual as to what temperature a fan or fans should come on. Sometimes just one fan will operate if the water temperature dictates.
If your radiator cap is no good, it will lower the boiling point of your coolant to 212 dgrees. A leak of any type anywhere in your cooling system will have the same effect. That is why you must have a good radiator cap on your car. Many people get worried if their car gets up to 220 degrees. On a hot day, going up a hill with your air conditioner on, that is a normal temperature, and is nothing to worry about, as long as you aren't losing coolant. You can safely operate to 240.
