The radial artery is the one that is used to take a pulse at the wrist.
The are two paired arteries that supply the head. You have the carotid arteries (where you take your pulse in the neck). There are also paired vertebral arteries that run up through the transverse foramen in the cervical vertebrae.
Not long at all, minutes if your lucky. The corotid artery comes directly from the aorta, which contains the maximum amount of pressure. So with that said, your going to bleed out extremely fast, and it will probably be spurting.
No such thing. The jugular veins drain blood from your head back to your heart. The carotid arteries take blood from your heart to your head.
In approximately 30% of people, one or both PCAs take origin from the internal carotid artery (ICA) directly or via the posterior communicating artery. Direct origin from the ICA is termed "fetal PCA" (when the ipsilateral P1 segment is congenitally absent).
anywhere there is a strong arterial pulse is where you find the pulse. carotid artery in neck (inside the vertical neck muscle) brachial pulse in babies in the upper arm between the muscles on the inside. wrist pulse (in the crook tween the middle tendons on the inside and the thumb side of the wrist)... femoral = inside mid thigh
It depends on which artery. If your femoral artery is severed, you have minutes to live without immediate medical attention. Same for the Carotid artery in your neck, or the jugular vein in your neck. If the aorta artery feeding your heart goes, same thing. I would say the smaller the artery, the longer you may have to live before you bleed out. The biggest life threat as far as arterial bleeds is the aorta. If any part of the aorta ruptures, a surgeon couldn't save you if he already had you cut open on the table. Essentially, if the aorta ruptures, it will only take about 3 beats of the heart to bleed out. The further away from the heart you get, the slower the bleed will be, but any compromised artery is potentially life threatening. The femoral artery in the thigh (the femur is the thigh bone, hence the name fermoral) is another big bleeder. The carotid is the second biggest life threat if it's compromised. So basically, if the aorta ruptures, 3 heart beats. If the carotid ruptures, perhaps 2 minutes. If the femoral is severed, perhaps 5 minutes. The difference is that the carotid and the femoral arteries can be controlled with proper treatment. The aorta is untreatable once it's compromised.

i took it before a carotid artery op because i was scared ,and it made me feel very un afraid so ask your doctor take is advice
To check your carotid arteries, your doctor will listen to them with a stethoscope. He or she will listen for a whooshing sound called a bruit. This sound may indicate changed or reduced blood flow due to plaque buildup. To find out more, your doctor may recommend tests.Diagnostic TestsThe following tests are common for diagnosing carotid artery disease. If you have symptoms of a mini-stroke or stroke, your doctor may use other tests as well. Carotid UltrasoundCarotid ultrasound (also called sonography) is the most common test for diagnosing carotid artery disease. It's a painless, harmless test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the insides of your carotid arteries. This test can show whether plaque has narrowed your carotid arteries and how narrow they are. A standard carotid ultrasound shows the structure of your carotid arteries. A Doppler carotid ultrasound shows how blood moves through your carotid arteries.Carotid AngiographyCarotid angiography (an-jee-OG-ra-fee) is a special type of x ray. This test may be used if the ultrasound results are unclear or don't give your doctor enough information. For this test, your doctor will inject a substance (called contrast dye) into a vein, most often in your leg. The dye travels to your carotid arteries and highlights them on x-ray pictures.Magnetic Resonance AngiographyMagnetic resonance angiography (MRA) uses a large magnet and radio waves to take pictures of your carotid arteries. Your doctor can see these pictures on a computer screen. For this test, your doctor may give you contrast dye to highlight your carotid arteries on the pictures.Computed Tomography AngiographyComputed tomography (to-MOG-rah-fee) angiography, or CT angiography, takes x-raypictures of the body from many angles. A computer combines the pictures into two- and three-dimensional images. For this test, your doctor may give you contrast dye to highlight your carotid arteries on the pictures.
subclavian artery , carotid artery , vertebrobasilar artery, vertebral artery and cerebral artery. in these, the vertebral arteries are divided into 3 namely anterior, posterior and middle cerebral arteries and these supplies to brain.
The 10 pulse points or pressure points:: 1. The external maxillary 2. The superficial temporal 3. The carotid 4. The brachial 5. The ulnar 6. The radial 7. The femoral 8. The popliteal 9. The posterior tibial 10. The dorsalis pedis Most commonly used is #6. But EMT's will use #3 in an emergency.
