MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The pulse can be measured using the radial artery in the wrist or the carotid artery in the neck. Heart rates vary from person to person.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pulse beat is measured by superficial arteries present on the body surface. Arteries carry oxygenated blood. The train person can measure the pulse beat with the help of their fingertips.

Detailed explanation-3: -Clinical Relevance The radial artery is clinically significant as a medium to assess the heart rate. Most clinicians take the radial pulse between the tendons of the brachioradialis and flexor carpi radialis. This is because it is where the radial artery lies superficially and thus makes the pulse more detectable.
