Veins or arteries are close to the surface,
If you feel pain, you feel it in a specific location of your body. Feeling in pain is more general.
the wrist joint where the radial pulse may be felt and the neck just above the sternomastoid muscle where the carotid pulse may be felt
Is it possible to tell if things are not working correctly in your body by feeling the pulse in your wrist?
because theres a pulse there....this is the right answer
Why can the pulse be felt in certain areas of the body like wrist neck and hollow of the elbow
Pulse can be felt where ever you can palpate the artery. Doctors normally palpate the radial artery at the wrist neck, because it can be felt well against the bone.
The popliteal pulse is felt behind the knee.
Typically the inner wrist or the base of the throat.
Places where an artery is close to the surface of the body.
What you feel in your wrist is a pulse. The pulse is caused by the heart pumping blood round your body.
no as they can also not pierce your heart. NOTE: There is no "pulse point" at the belly button. A pulse point is a specific location on the body where the "pulse" (the beat produced by blood flowing through arteries) can be felt. For example: the inside of either wrist; each side of the neck; the brachial pulse in each upper arm; the femoral, each side of the groin; popliteal behind the knees; and one on the top of each foot. The belly has a fat layer. You'd have to go deeper than that fat layer to any major blood vessels.
A pulse is defined as a regular throbbing caused in the arteries by the contractions of the heart. In an infant, the best location to feel a pulse is in the brachial area (ante-cubital fossae); in an adult, the pulse is best felt either in the tracheal area (neck) or at the radial artery in the wrist. in the buttox
