the common foot pulse locations are as follows, the posterior tibial artery and the dorsalis pedia artery (or pedal artery)
Dorsalis pedis (top of foot) & Posterior tibial (behind ankle on inside of foot)
the following Pulse location are? 1. Apical pulse 2. Radial pulse 3. Brachial pulse 4. Apical-radial pulse
foot long pulse tail
on the top of the foot.
You can check the pulse in the carotid (neck) or brachial (upper arm) arteries for CPR pulse checks. Other possible locations for checking a pulse are Radial (wrist), Popliteal artery (knee) posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis (foot).
The pulse can be felt in several locations on the body.The radial pulse point is on the thumb side of the inner surface of the wrist.The brachial artery pulse point is on the inner medial surface of the elbow, at the antecubital space (crease of elbow).The carotid pulse felt in the carotid artery of the neck when pressure is applied.The femoral point, located midway in the groin.The Dorsalis Pedis on the instep of the foot and the Popliteal at the back of the knee.

Pulse located at the anterior (frontal) area of the foot. The pulse is created by the force that blood exerts on the walls of the arteria dorsalis pedis.
You can use your fingers to check the any pulse in your body, just apply the fingers in the correct positions of the pulse locations and there you have it.
radial pulse
The doctor is checking one of several pulse points. These points can tell her if there is good blood flow to a body part such as the leg and foot in this case.
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.
