PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The carotid artery is the strongest pulse because it is in an artery that is relatively large, close to the skin’s surface and relatively close to the heart. A lot of blood has to flow to the brain, which is why there are two carotid arteries on either side of the neck.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since the amplitude of a pulse is indicative of the energy carried by the pulse, the reflected pulse has a smaller amplitude than the incident pulse.

Detailed explanation-3: -The apical pulse is the point of maximal impulse and is found at the apex of the heart. It is located on the left side of the chest at the 5th intercostal space midclavicular line.
