If the question is where the closest location to get a pulse in relation to the heart is, then it is the coroteid artery, also known as the jugular, found on either side of the neck. The other locations are on the wrist, the inside of the arm, the arm pit, the inside of the femur for the femoral artery and the top of the foot. The pulse can be obtained from the temple as well, but is hard to actually feel with the fingertip and impossible to feel on infants.
