1. A biological information measurement apparatus, comprising:
a sensor sheet including a surface side and a skin side, the skin side of the sensor sheet to be applied to a skin of a subject;
a terminal to be attached to the sensor sheet, the terminal including an insertion opening and a locking cut in a back surface of the terminal;
a tongue piece including a connector that protrudes from the surface side of the sensor sheet and having a wider portion formed at a distal end of the tongue piece, wherein upon insertion of the connector to the insertion opening of the terminal, the connector engages with the insertion opening and the wider portion engages with the locking cut of the terminal to removably attach the terminal to the sensor sheet via the tongue piece,
wherein when the tongue piece is removably attached to the terminal, the terminal is at least partially spaced apart from the sensor sheet; and
a rejoinable joining device including at least two pieces, a first piece of the rejoinable joining device being fixed to the surface side of the sensor sheet and a second piece of the rejoinable joining device being fixed to a back surface of the terminal,
wherein the rejoinable joining device is located near the distal end of the tongue piece, and the terminal is further attached removably to the sensor sheet via the first and second pieces of the rejoinable joining device, wherein
the sensor sheet includes a first sheet to be applied to the skin of the subject, a second sheet stuck to a front surface side of the first sheet, and an electric circuit section including the tongue piece, a wire extending from the tongue piece, and an electrode formed at a terminal end of the wire which are integrally formed on a base material, the base material being interposed between the first sheet and the second sheet, and
the second sheet has a thickness larger than that of the first sheet.
