What is the artery that is used when measuring blood pressure?
Arteries are generally deep within our bodies which makes them hard to feel. However the Branchial Artery is close to the surface of the skin and is easily felt by hand. Also behind the Branchial Artery there is a firm muscle that allows us to press the artery against it and get an accurate measurement.
