The neck pulse is the corotid pulse; the wrist pulse is the radial pulse; the arm pulse is the brachial pulse. it seems that the pulses are named according to the artery palpated; therefore, your thumb pulse must be your princeps pollicis pulse. this is an educated guess.

I learned it was called a hitchhiker's thumb. its when your thumb is bent backward at the top.
you can have two types of thumbs, hitchhiker, or regular. (i guess that is what it is called, there may be some special name I am unaware of) Regular thumbs go straight up, hitchhiker thumbs curve back towards the shoulder, (if you were to stick your hand out to the side and put your thumb up) Hope this helps.
The Carotid pulse is found in the neck. The Radial pulse is found in the wrist.
Our pulse rate increases with the increasement in the motion of the body.as a result, when we are fixed at a place, our pulse rate is minimumand inversely when we are in motion our pulse is fast
The thumb because it has a pulse of it's own.
Your thumb also has a pulse so you could be counting your own pulse beats per minute.
I was taught in nursing school that both the thumb and index finger have a pulse, so that when taking someone else's pulse, use the middle and ring finger
You can actually feel your own heartbeat in your thumb. You wouldnt get a correct pulse if you feel your heartbeat on the patient
No, because your thumb carries your pulse which might be confused with the client's pulse.

No.. the index finger does not have a pulse... for this reason, when feeling for a person's pulse, you use your middle finger and your index finger (you never use your thumb as it has a pulse)
When you put your thumb over a vein sufficiently close to the surface of your skin, you should feel a gentle throbbing underneath your th8mb. The throbbing should be steady. This is your heartbeat. If you count between the beats you get your pulse rate.
The thumb has a pulse.
yes it does and that's why when you're trying to measure your pulse on your neck or wrist you always feel for the pulse there with your pointer finger and your midlle finger because if you were to do that with your thumb you would get an inaccurate answer because both your thumb and your neck/wrist have a pulse
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.
Your thumb has its own pulse so it shouldn't be used to take your pulse.
