Why the carotid and radial pulses are not in time with each other?

They are not in time with each other due to their relative positions from the heart. The carotid being closer to the heart will be felt before the radial, although the difference is minute.

How does each pulse match with its location?
Pulses include the carotid on both sides of the neck, the brachial in the upper arm, the radial at the wrist, the femoral in the groin, the popliteal behind the knee, and the dorsalis pedis on the top of each foot. Although pulsations can be felt at the temple (temporal), this site is generally not used to assess pulse in medicine or nursing.
What are the names of the different pulses in the body?
A pulse is one and the same. There are however, different Pulse points. These are locations where you can evaluate the pulse. Pulse points include carotid on both sides of the neck, radial in both wrists, femoral in both sides of the groin, popliteal behind each knee, and pedal on top of each foot. The heart has an apical location to hear the heart's beating.
Identify the three major arteries a rescuer must be able to locate?
The three major arteries that are useful in rescue work are:the radial pulse in the wristthe carotid pulse in the neck (one on each side)the femoral pulse in the groin (one on each side)Of these, you may feel the femoral and carotid last, especially in a dying patient.
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.
Can two pulses traveling in opposite directions on the same string reflect off each other?
Only if the string is in a loop or there is something at the opposite ends of the string to provide a reflection or echo. If there is an echo then slightly weaker pulses will reflect off of each other near the point of origin.
When the pulses is taken it is usually taken at an artery in the neck or wrist why?
There are three places in the body to get an accurate pulse. The femoral artery in the thigh, the radial artery in the wrist, or the carotid artery in the neck. The radial and carotid arteries are closer to the surface of the skin and thus are easier to get a pulse from.
What are the differences between radial and bias ply tubes?
Bias tires were the standard until the radial tire became the norm. The difference is in how they are constructed. Bias tires were typically constructed of 4 plys that run at angles to each other and the body of the tire and cross each other. Radial tires have the belts at a 90-degree angle to the tire, and the belts overlap rather than cross each other. Radial tires have another belt, usually of steel cord, running around the tire under the tread. Radial construction allows the sidewall of the tire to flex under loads without affecting the contact of the tread with the road unlike a bias tire that flexes very little. It is this flexing that requires you to use a radial tube in a radial tire. The tube is designed to handle the flexing without overheating as a bias tibe would.
What artery is on each side of the neck?
jugular vein
What type of tires have plies that run bead to bead parallel to each other with stabilizer belts under the tread?
radial
Where do you find the carotid pulse?
Side of the neck, just beside the C rings. The carotid artery carries oxygenated blood to the brain. You have one on each side, right next to the jugular veins.
Does a bobcat have bilateral symmetry radial symmetry or is it asymmetrical?
a bobcat has bilateral symmetry because bilateral symmetry is where it mirrors each other
Are dwarf seahorse bilateral radial or asymetrical?
bilateral. if you cut it in half, the two sides would mirror each other in appearance.
