Detailed explanation-1: -Your pulse is the rate your heart beats. It is also called your heart rate. To find your pulse without a heartrate monitor or watch, gently place your index and middle fingers on the artery located on the inner wrist of either arm, below your thumb. You should feel a pulsing or tapping against your fingers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pulse & Heart Rate. Your heart rate is the number of times each minute that your heart beats, which is normally between 60 and 100 times per minute for adults. Your pulse is a way you can feel each time your heart beats.
Detailed explanation-3: -The arterial pulse is a measurement of the heart’s contraction rate because a pulse wave is created when the left ventricle contracts. The arteries expand in response to this contraction and increase in volume.
