There's actually two pulses in your wrist. The most commonly used and easiest to find is your radial pulse. The radial pulse can be found by starting at your thumb and moving down to your wrist. Your ulnar pulse is harder to find and is found on the opposite side by tracing down your pinkie finger.
It is the radial pulse located just up from the thumb on the inner aspect of the wrist.
Radial Pulse and the one in your neck is Carotid
A radial pulse (because it is taken from the radial artery).
Its medical name is "radial pulse," from the fact that it is on the same side as the bone in your forearm called the radius.
its called your brachial pulse
Brachial and radial pulse is in the arm.

Axillary pulse. It is caused by the force that blood exerts on the walls of the axillary artery (Latin: arteria axillaris)

Yes; the pulse rate should be approximately the same. However the pressure will vary as the artery in your neck is larger than the one in your arm. The artery in your neck is called the carotid artery. Therefore the neck pulse is called the carotid pulse. The one at the wrist is called the radial artery thus giving it the name, radial pulse. The average pulse for an adult is 65-70 beats per minute. For a child, 80-90 and 100-120 for an infant.
LISTENENING TO THE HEART GIVES THE APICAL PULSE. FEELING ON THE INSIDE OF THE ARM AT THE BEND OF THE ELBOW IS THE BRACHIAL PULSE.
upper arm
The neck pulse is the corotid pulse; the wrist pulse is the radial pulse; the arm pulse is the brachial pulse. it seems that the pulses are named according to the artery palpated; therefore, your thumb pulse must be your princeps pollicis pulse. this is an educated guess.
It is usually easiest to find the brachial pulse under the bicep, in the arm. The carotid pulse can be a little tricky, but if you can see it, you can get the rate visually.
False, because the apical pulse is the heartbeat and is heard with a stethoscope. The sphygmomanometer is used to take the pulse on the arm.
