Pulse
B
Heart Rate
C
Hypertension
D
Atherosclerosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your pulse is how you can feel your heart rate. Every time your heart beats, it squeezes and propels blood through the network of arteries in your body. Your pulse is the pressure in your arteries going up briefly as your heart pushes out more blood to keep circulation going.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your pulse rate, also known as your heart rate, is the number of times your heart beats per minute.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the heart pushes blood into the aorta, the blood’s impact on the elastic walls creates a pressure wave that continues along the arteries. This impact is the pulse. All arteries have a pulse, but it is most easily felt at points where the vessel approaches the surface of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. As the heart pushes blood through the arteries, the arteries expand and contract with the flow of the blood.
