Where are the 10 pulse points?
There are many more than 5 pulse points on the human body. However, we can start with these: # Carotid -- side of the neck # Radial -- the wrist # Femoral -- near the groin # Pedal -- on the foot # Brachial -- at the inside of the elbow or under the shoulder.
What conditions may cause the apical and radial pulse to be different from each other?
Please double check this but here is a shot Apical pulse will never be less than the radial pulse. A radial pulse rate less than the apical rate is an example of a pulse deficit, and can be the When_would_an_apical_pulse_be_less_then_radial_pulseof a heart murmur, but the opposite will never occur.
Why the pulse in the carotid artery is stronger than the pulse near your wrish?
The pulse is stronger in the carotid artery than the brachial artery due to its greater size and greater blood flow. The carotid artery delivers blood to the head and especially the brain, so it must deliver a bigger percentage of blood flow. The brachial artery delivers blood to the arm which is at rest much of the time. The brain requires enough blood flow and oxygen that it is supplied by both the carotid arteries (2) and the vertebral arteries (2) as well."HealthYes!

I found out that there is preventive screening for cartoid artery disease. Check out the related linkbelow.
What happens to your artery when you feel a pulse?
During diastole, or the resting part of the heartbeat, there is a minimum amount of pressure on arteries. When the heart pumps (systole) it forces the blood out of the ventricle and into the artery. Arteries are elastic, so when this blood passes through it, it causes the artery to expand from the increased pressure. It is this expansion as the bolus of blood rushes forward that you feel in a pulse.
What can cause weak pulse?
the heart beats faster than usual and the pulse is very weak, why is that?
Should your neck pulse be approximately the same as your wrist pulse?
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.

Why check carotid pulse in CPR?
When people go into cardiac arrest, their body usually cuts off most circulation to their extremities to keep the core of their body alive. So, a patient could have a very weak or absent radial pulse but they may still have a carotid pulse. it is also used to compare the radial pulse to the carotid pulse. You should check for a carotid pulse every few minutes, at the same time check for breathing, coughing, and moving. Don't check it more often than that as stopping chest compressions can waste precious time. Continue CPR if there is no breathing or pulse, ect.

What are the pulse sites on the body?
Temporal, Radial, Dorsalis Pedis, Anterior Tibial, Apical pulse, Ulnar pulse, brachial pulse, Carotid pulse, Femoral pulse, Popliteal pulse, Posterior Tibialis pulse Those are the ones I can think of but there are more.
What is the minimum systolic blood pressure indicated by the presence of the radial pulse?
If you are able to palpate a radial pulse, you can assume that the patient has a minimum systolic pressure of 80 mm/hg. I would only use this as a last resort, or during a trauma when you don't have time to manually take a bp.
Pulse in a cold patient?
Pulse in a cold patient will be weaker and slower than normal.

When do you check the apical pulse instead of radial pulse?
Apical pulse will never be less than the radial pulse. A radial pulse rate less than the apical rate is an example of a pulse deficit, and can be the result of a heart murmur, but the opposite will never occur.
Do vampires breathe?
Yes they do, they also have a pulse, buts its slower than a humans.
How does posture affect heart rate?
Lying down is slower than sitting, because of pressure differences in the carotid sinus. Sitting is slower than standing, because of pressure differences in the legs and thighs.
Vampires kind of breath does a vampire have?
Yes they do, they also have a pulse, buts its slower than a humans
