Detailed explanation-1: -The pulse can be measured using the radial artery in the wrist or the carotid artery in the neck.
Detailed explanation-2: -Where is the radial artery? The radial artery runs on the inside of the forearm from the elbow to the thumb. The artery lies just under the surface of the skin. You may be able to see the blue or purple vein inside your wrist where the artery brings blood to the thumb.
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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Radialis indicis artery (radial artery of the index finger) – originates near the principal artery of the thumb and runs between the heads of the first dorsal interosseous muscle to supply the lateral aspect of the index finger.
Detailed explanation-5: -The radial artery lies superficially in front of the distal end of the radius, between the tendons of the brachioradialis and flexor carpi radialis; it is here that clinician takes the radial pulse. (where it is commonly used to assess the heart rate and cardiac rhythm).
