Detailed explanation-1: -The brachial pulse can be located by feeling the bicep tendon in the area of the antecubital fossa.
Detailed explanation-2: -Radial arterial pulse As alluded to above, the radial artery at its distal end of the forearm (i.e. before the wrist) lies on the anterior surface and is only covered by skin and fascia. This is a common place to measure the pulse rate of a patient as a means to assess heart rate, cardiac rhythm and pulse strength.
Detailed explanation-3: -Brachial Artery Location The brachial artery lies on the inside of your upper arm. As it reaches the lower part of your arm, it moves near the middle of your elbow. Here, it loops in front of the elbow joint, between the tendon of the biceps muscle on the outer side and the median nerve on the inner side.
