Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -press the first (index) finger and middle finger of your other hand on the inside of your wrist, at the base of your thumb – don’t use your thumb as it has its own pulse. press your skin lightly until you can feel your pulse – if you can’t find it, try pressing a little harder or move your fingers around.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries run closely to the surface of the skin at the wrist and neck, making the pulse particularly easy to find at these points.
Detailed explanation-4: -The pulse can be measured using the radial artery in the wrist or the carotid artery in the neck.
