Why is your pulse taken from either your neck and wrist?

Your pulse is taken from either your neck or wrist is because you have major veins in those areas that pumps blood to the heart, which is sent in rhythms synced with your heart. You have artery's in your neck, which is the Jugular Arteries. Blood is pumped out of the heart to arteries which give blood to the rest of the body. Those to places have strong sync with the heart which lead to the beat being in rhythm.

What is the recommended places to take a pulse?

A persons pulse can be taken at a number of different places on the body but it is typically taken at the wrist or neck. On the wrist it is taken at the Radial Artery. Using the left arm as an example, with your left palm facing up, use the fingers of the right hand to apply gentle pressure between the left most bone on the left arm and the tendons in the middle of the forearm, about 2-3 inches below the wrist line. At the neck the pulse can be felt at the Carotid Artery 2-3 inches either side of the Larynx. Again, apply gentle pressure to feel the pulse.
