What else can I help you with?
When taking a pulse why do you not press down?
If you press too hard, you'll pinch the blood vessel shut and cut off the blood flow. And without blood flow there'll be no pulse there to count.
Which blood vessel has a pulse?
Arteries have a pulse due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates a pressure wave that can be felt as the pulse in arteries. Veins do not have a pulse as they carry blood back to the heart at a lower pressure.
What is faster blood flow in the center of a large vessel or blood flow along the walls of a blood vessel?
Blood flow in the center of a large vessel is faster because the walls of the blood vessel may have a buildup of cholesterol on them.
What is the greatest advantage of utilizing pulse wave Doppler?
One of the greatest advantages of utilizing pulse wave Doppler is its ability to accurately measure blood flow velocity at a specific location within the blood vessel. This provides detailed information on the timing and direction of blood flow, helping in the diagnosis of various cardiovascular conditions.
What is the effect of increased vessel length on blood flow?
The longer the vessel is the more friction it applies on the passing blood, the less the blood flow is.
Does the brain have a pulse?
The brain itself does not pulse, but it does have a blood flow. The veins and arteries do have a pulse.
What makes the blood flow inside the tubes or blood vessel?
Contractions and relaxation of heart chambers make the blood flow inside the tubes or blood vessel.
What blood vessel is responsible for the superficial temporal pulse?
The temporal artery.
What is vibration of the blood vessel walls that reflect heart rate?
Pulse
What type of blood vessel is used to count pulse rates?
artery
How is the pulse rate affected by the flow of blood?
The faster and heavier that the flow of blood is, the higher pulse rate a person will have because the heart is pumping faster.
Which blood vessel will allow a force flow of blood?
cappillaries
