The pulse point that is located at the wrist is called the radial pulse. All together there are five pulse points in the human body.
The radial pulse is located in the wrist at the end of the radial artery. It is the most common place for healthcare professionals to take a patient's pulse.
That is the Volar Radial Carpal artery, or just Radial artery, for short.
A pulse can be found where and artery passes over a bone, for example, in your wrist (also known as the radial pulse).
The radial artery is the one that is used to take a pulse at the wrist.

the wrist
The five upper limb pulse points are the radial pulse, found at the wrist on the thumb side; the ulnar pulse, located on the wrist on the pinky side; the brachial pulse, felt in the inner arm near the elbow; the axillary pulse, found in the armpit area; and the subclavian pulse, located just above the clavicle. These pulse points are key for assessing circulation and heart rate in the upper extremities.
The point of the radial pulse is located on the patient's 'thumb' side of their wrist. You locate the patient's radial artery (pulse pont) in the patient's wrist using your middle two or three fingers. You count the number of pulses that occur in eiher 30 seconds or 1 minute. NEVER use your thumb to take a pulse. You would then be feeling your OWN pulse.
The two pulse points are the radial pulse, located on the wrist at the radial artery, and the carotid pulse, located in the neck at the carotid artery.
Either on your neck(fell with two fingers) or on your wrist.
The radial pulse is located in the wrist at the end of the radial artery. It is the most common place for healthcare professionals to take a patient's pulse.
Your radial pulse is located on your wrist, just below your palm. It is the pulsing of your radial artery. Your radial pulse is useful for monitoring your heart rate, as it is the pulse that is easiest to feel your heart palpitations from.
The wrist is located distal to the elbow. Meaning the wrist is farther from the point of origin than the elbow.
That is the Volar Radial Carpal artery, or just Radial artery, for short.
At the wrist, under the thumb where hand meets wrist. Palpate there where the radius or radial bone is located. Do not use your thumb to palpate since it has it's own pulse.
The wrist is located distal to the elbow. Meaning the wrist is farther from the point of origin than the elbow.
Measure the pulse in the wrist area, radial pulse.
