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: -There are a total of seven pulse points in the human body. The pulse points are the neck (carotid artery), the wrist (radial artery), behind the knee (popliteal artery), the groin (femoral artery), inside the elbow (brachial artery), the foot (dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial artery), the abdomen (abdominal aorta).

Detailed explanation-3: -You can easily check your pulse on the inside of your wrist, below your thumb. Gently place 2 fingers of your other hand on this artery. Do not use your thumb, because it has its own pulse that you may feel.
