That is the Volar Radial Carpal artery, or just Radial artery, for short.
The radial artery, carotid artery, and the brachial artery can be used to feel your pulse; but only if you feel them with your tongue. The easiest to do the radial artery, located in your elbow.
The main artery in your neck is called the Carotid Artery. It is the largest artery in the neck region.

The pulse point located in the bend of the elbow is called the brachial artery. This artery is commonly used to measure blood pressure and to check the pulse in emergency situations.
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.
The pulse site found at the temple of the head is called the superficial temporal artery. This artery is commonly used for checking the pulse and is located just in front of the ear.

Those are called pulse points, the contracting of the beating heart is what is being felt. It is called tactile arterial palpation and it can be felt any place that an artery can be compressed against a bone; at the wrist (radial artery) on the inside of the elbow (brachial artery), groin (femoral artery) in the neck (carotid artery) and pedal pulses in the top of the foot. The rate of the pulse is observed and measured by tactile (touching the pulse point) or visual means (observing the twitch that can be seen on the outside of an artery) and is recorded as BPM (beats per minute) or called the pulse.
The carotid pulse. Its in the neck on either side of the throat.
