Differs from book to book but normally around 60-100 beats per minute.
The pulse can be located in various places on the body, including the wrist (radial pulse), neck (carotid pulse), inner elbow (brachial pulse), groin (femoral pulse), behind the knee (popliteal pulse), on top of the foot (dorsalis pedis pulse), and behind the ear (posterior auricular pulse).
We take our pulse with our fingers instead of our thumbs because our thumbs have their own pulse so you could get confused i guess :) ... im only in grade seven and i know that :) im not bragging just telling you, you should know
The pulse point at the knee is called the popliteal pulse. It can be felt behind the knee joint.
Tibial pulse or more technically the Tibialis posterior pulse.
The carotid pulse. Its in the neck on either side of the throat.
The thumb because it has a pulse of it's own.
As long as blood is pumping through the testicle then it should have a pulse, the left testicle should have a pulse too.

The Pulse Deficit
You should never take a manual pulse with your thumb because of the chance of picking up your own pulse from the blood vessels in your thumb.
Yes, the faster you exercise, the higher the pulse rate. Note: your pulse should and will eventually slow down and return to normal.
A distal pulse should be the same rate as a femoral pulse, carotid pulse, brachial pulse, pedal pulse, or radial pulse. The strength of the pulse may be harder to feel the further away from the heart, but the rate should be the same. One heart, One Pulse Rate. The Normal heart rate/pulse in an adult is 60-100 beats per minute. Less of course, in the super healthy athlete.
Prior to using an AED you should confirm the absence of a pulse.
Do not stop CPR to check for a pulse.
No, because your thumb carries your pulse which might be confused with the client's pulse.
