No. The verb "feel" may be a linking word in some cases, but it is not one in this sentence. True linking verbs are forms of the following verbs: be, seem, and become. Other verbs, like feel, may be linking verbs if they are functionally equivalent to the verb to be. Example: "John feels embarrassed" is the same as "John is embarrassed" and in this case "embarrassed" would be the subject complement. In the above question, however, "The nurse felt your pulse" is not functionally equivalent to "The nurse is your pulse" or "The nurse seems your pulse" and so there is no subject complement in this sentence.
A collective noun for ocean going vessels is a fleet of vessels. A collective noun for drinking vessels is a set of vessels. A collective noun for liquid carrying (in plants and animals) vessels is a system of vessels.
That is the correct spelling of "pulse" (heart rate, or rhythmic emission).
Monitoring a person's pulse is one of the simplest forms of medical assessment. Blood moves throughout the body as the smooth muscles lining the walls of the arteries contract and relax, in time to the beating of the heart. The pulse rate then represents the number of times a heart beats in a single minute. Healthy adults have a resting heart rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute.Factors Influencing Pulse RateA number of factors influence an individual's resting heart rate including age, gender and fitness levels:Age: Children's pulse rates have a different pattern than adults' pulse rates. This differential begins in utero: The normal heart rate of a fetus is between 120 and 160 beats; lower rates are often interpreted as an indication of fetal distress. During the first year of life, pulse rates typically range between 100 and 160; between the ages of one and ten, a child's pulse rate is generally between 60 and 100. After the age of 11, a child's pulse rate should be the same as an adult's.The elderly are prone to suffer from either abnormally low pulse rates (bradycardia) or abnormally high pulse rates (tachycardia.) It also take a much longer time for an elderly individual's pulse rate to increase when he or she exercises, and to decrease after exercise is finished.Gender: Women typically have a higher resting pulse rate than men because their hearts are smaller and therefore have to work harder. Women who exercise have lower resting pulse rates.Fitness: Individuals who engage in regular aerobic exercise have stronger hearts. Consequently, their resting pulse rates tend to be lower. Some athletes consistently have resting pulse rates in the 40s and they are perfectly healthy!How To Take a Resting PulseThe body has a number of points where the pulse may be palpated. The most frequently used pulse point is the radial pulse on the wrist at the base of the thumb. Take your index and middle fingers and press them gently to the inside of your wrist a little less than an inch beneath your thumb. That throbbing you feel is your radial pulse; if you don't, you may have to press down slightly but don't press down so hard you occlude the pulse.Count the number of beats you feel over a 15 second interval, then multiply times four to obtain your resting pulse rate.
Blood vessels that are larger can be felt, like arteries and veins, though it is easier to feel arteries because they have a pulse.
Arteries
No, they don't.Out of the 3 blood vessels: veins, arteries and capillaries, only the ARTERIES have a pulse. This pulse occurs because of the method the arteries use to pump blood. When you feel for a pulse on the neck, wrist etc... you are pressing the artery against bone which is how the rhythem is felt. Hope this helped :)
The word "hit" in this context likely refers to the sensation or impact felt when the pulse from blood vessels is detected, often indicating a strong heartbeat or circulation. It can describe the forceful nature of the pulse that can be perceived through the skin. This term captures the physical connection between the cardiovascular system and the sensations experienced by the body.

No you can't. If you can feel a pulse over your pregnant abdomen it is the large vessels in your uterus supplying the placenta.
The special properties of blood vessels that allow one to feel a pulse include their elasticity and the rhythmic contraction of the heart. Arteries, particularly, have thick, elastic walls that expand and contract with each heartbeat, creating a pressure wave that travels through the vessel. This pressure wave can be felt at various points on the body, such as the wrist or neck, where arteries are close to the skin's surface. The ability to palpate this wave is what enables the sensation of a pulse.
Yes, you can. If you put your finger on your temple (part of your head) then you should feel your pulse. Remember there are many other places you can feel you pulse too !!!
When you feel your pulse you know your alive.
At the wrist, there's a fairly large blood vessel that runs close to the skin, which makes it easy to feel. Most other places the big vessels run deeper in your body. And what's causing the pulse, that's the heart beat. Every time the heart beats, it push out a squirt of blood, causing the pressure in the blood vessels to increase for a moment. Where the vessels are close to the skin, we can feel it To make it more easier, listen to this. It is because of the pumping of blood by the heart to our different arteries.
Because the artery supplying the brain is larger, closer to the heart, and carries more blood than the blood vessels in the wrist.
