Popliteal Pulse
This site is called a pulse point. There are ten sites that are used.
Temporal pulse
The pulse site under the arm is called the brachial artery pulse. It is located on the inner aspect of the upper arm, midway between the shoulder and elbow.
The pulse site found at the temple of the head is called the superficial temporal artery. This artery is commonly used for checking the pulse and is located just in front of the ear.
The pulse site located on the inner aspect of the wrist is the radial pulse. It can be felt by placing the fingers on the thumb side of the wrist, just below the base of the thumb. This site is commonly used to assess heart rate and rhythm.

The pulse site rating plus 1 typically refers to the assessment of a pulse at a specific site, with the term "plus 1" indicating that the pulse is slightly stronger than normal. This rating can be used in clinical assessments to evaluate a patient's cardiovascular status. A pulse that is rated as "plus 1" suggests a weak but palpable pulse, which may warrant further evaluation. It's important to consider additional factors such as patient history and other vital signs for a comprehensive assessment.
