What else can I help you with?
What are examples of pulses?
Radial,Temporal,Carotid,Femoral,Popliteal,Dorsalis pedis.
Why the carotid and radial pulses are not in time with each other?
They are not in time with each other due to their relative positions from the heart. The carotid being closer to the heart will be felt before the radial, although the difference is minute.
Why do giraffes have valves in their carotid arteries?
They have very long neck which the pulses in the arteries are not strong enough to push the blood up to the brain. The "VALVES" prevent the back flow of blood.........
Bytes take the form of electrical pulses?
Yes they do not
How many locations of arterial pulses are there on the body?
There are typically ten main locations where arterial pulses can be palpated on the body. These include the radial, ulnar, brachial, carotid, femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, dorsalis pedis, temporal, and facial arteries. Each pulse point provides valuable information about blood flow and cardiovascular health.
Is there a difference in the time of the wrist and the carotid pulse?
Yes, there can be a difference in the timing of the wrist (radial) pulse and the carotid pulse due to the distance from the heart and the vascular resistance in the arteries. The carotid pulse, located in the neck, is generally stronger and may be felt more quickly than the radial pulse at the wrist. Additionally, factors such as blood pressure, heart rate, and individual anatomical variations can influence the timing and strength of these pulses, leading to potential discrepancies in their felt rhythm.
Which artery is felt when taking the pulse rate at the neck?
The Carotid pulse is found in the neck. The Radial pulse is found in the wrist.
Where is a good place to take a pulse?
On the underside of your wrist, or on the carotid arteries of the neck.
I'm looking for the arteries that provide a pulse like the brachial carotid radial?
Pulses can also be found on the femoral artery (in the groin) and post tibial (behind the ankle) and on the top of the foot between the great and second toes.
Through what cranial structure does the carotid artery pass as it enters the brain?
the carotid artery passes through the carotid canal to the brain
What is the artery in the heart taking blood to the neck called?
the juggular vain
What is the opening for the carotid artery?
carotid foramen
