The radial artery, carotid artery, and the brachial artery can be used to feel your pulse; but only if you feel them with your tongue. The easiest to do the radial artery, located in your elbow.
You definitely can. If you can't feel it on both sides, you may have a blockage and need to see your doctor.
carotid artery
It is called the carotid artery.
The Carotid Artery.
Carotid pulse is in the neck.
The radial artery is the one that is used to take a pulse at the wrist.
That is the Volar Radial Carpal artery, or just Radial artery, for short.
The main artery in your neck is called the Carotid Artery. It is the largest artery in the neck region.
A LOT of blood pumps through the veins in your wrist/forearm so it is easy to see the rate at which it pumps ---- There is a major blood pumping artery, so the pulse is easy to feel. The pulse can most easily be found on the wrist and on the neck for this reason. Even the chubbiest of folks dont have much fat on the inside of the wrist!
Another name for a tiny artery is an arteriole. Arterioles are connected to capillaries.
The radial artery is the one that is used to take a pulse at the wrist.
That is the Volar Radial Carpal artery, or just Radial artery, for short.
The main artery in your neck is called the Carotid Artery. It is the largest artery in the neck region.
They are the two jugular veins.
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.
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.
Axillary pulse. It is caused by the force that blood exerts on the walls of the axillary artery (Latin: arteria axillaris)
Caratoid artery (neck). Brachial artery (inner bicep). Radial artery (wrist). Femoral artery (inside of thigh). Pedial artery (foot)
- temporal pulse, found in your temple. - radial pulse, found in end of thumb. - carotid pulse, found in neck, side of windpipe. - femoral pulse, found in the groin. hope it helped :)
