When is the carotid artery use as a pulse?
The radial artery is used most often for a pulse. But in the case of someone who is not responding the carotid is checked. It is awkward to ask questions when taking a pulse rate at the carotid.
Are the two anatomical sites for checking heart rate the carotid artery and posterior wrist?
both
What is carotid baroreflexes?
There are receptors on the lining of the carotid artery that sense a change in blood pressure. When they are stimulated, they can cause a drop in blood pressure/heart rate.
How would external stimulation of the carotid artery such as carotid message affect the heart rate?
The heart rate would slow down because of the stilumation of the parasympathetic system. And you spelled "massage" wrong.
What is the artery palpated in front of the ear?
In the human, the superficial temporal artery is the major artery of the head. You palpate, or feel for the pulse, of this artery about one inch in front of the ear. The easy way to find it is to put on a pair of glasses (sunglasses will do) and it is just under the earpiece just in front of the ear.
Which artery is felt when taking the pulse rate at the neck?
The Carotid pulse is found in the neck. The Radial pulse is found in the wrist.
A man with a long history of increased blood cholesterol levels has to have part of his carotid artery removed because a blockage has developed there?
If the carotid bodies are removed during the process the respiration rate may not increase as effectively in response to low levels of oxygen. Carotid artery disease occurs when the major arteries in your neck become narrowed or blocked.
What are you measuring when you count the pulsations of the carotid artery?
You are measuring heart rate.

Are the two anatomical sites to check heart rate the carotid artery and posterior wrist?
More or less that is true but in the wrist you are looking for the radial artery. This artery is clearly visible on the wrist. Press this artery lightly with flat fingers.

Emergency situation two sites used for assessing pulse are?
Two commonly used sites for assessing pulse in an emergency situation are the carotid artery located in the neck and the radial artery located in the wrist. These sites are easily accessible and provide accurate readings of the heart rate.
What is the most commonly used pulse sites?
The most commonly used pulse sites are the radial artery located in the wrist, the carotid artery in the neck, and the brachial artery in the elbow. These pulse sites are easily accessible and are often checked to assess heart rate and rhythm.
