In the temporal artery, you can measure the pulse rate and rhythm, which helps assess cardiovascular health. Additionally, the temperature of the skin over the artery can provide insights into local inflammation or circulatory issues. Blood pressure measurements can also be indirectly assessed by examining the arterial condition and response to palpation.

What is the normal temporal artery temperature?
A temporal artery thermometer is a thermometer that gets a persons body temperature from their temple.
What is temporal pulse?
Temporal pulse or temporal artery is the artery located directly behind the ear. It is the major artery of the cranium.
Why take the pulse at the Superficial temporal artery?
to exclude temporal arteriitis
What blood vessel is responsible for the superficial temporal pulse?
The temporal artery.
Where is the temporal artery?

Where is the temporal pulse?
The temporal pulse is located on the temple directly in front of the ear (superficial temporal artery).
What does the temporal artery supply blood to?
Temporal artery has twocomponents. One is a superficial temporal artery is a terminal branch of external carotid. It divides into two parts and it's pulsations can be felt on Temporal bone above the Zygomatic arch.. It divides into anterior and posterior branches. They supply the temple and scalp. Anterior branch anastomoses with the supra-orbital branch of ophthalmic artery, which is a branch of Internal carotid. It also gives the transverse facial branchsupplying the face. Deep temporal is a branch of second part of maxillary artery. It supply the temporal muscle, a muscle of mastication.
What is the difference in a temporal temperature and an oral temperature?
A temporal temperature is measured using a temporal artery thermometer, which scans the forehead to gauge the temperature of the skin over the temporal artery, providing a quick, non-invasive reading. In contrast, an oral temperature is taken by placing a thermometer under the tongue, measuring the body's internal temperature. Typically, oral temperatures are considered more accurate than temporal readings, as they reflect core body temperature more closely. However, temporal measurements are often preferred for their convenience and speed.
Where is the temporal artery located?
on the side of the head
What is the artery palpated in front of the ear?
In the human, the superficial temporal artery is the major artery of the head. You palpate, or feel for the pulse, of this artery about one inch in front of the ear. The easy way to find it is to put on a pair of glasses (sunglasses will do) and it is just under the earpiece just in front of the ear.
What is the largest branch of the internal carotid artery?
External Carotid Artery,which is a branch of Brachiocephalic Artery give 8 major branches 1,Superior Thyroid Artery 2,Ascending Pharyngeal Artery 3,Lingual Artery 4,Facial Artery 5,Occipital Artery 6,Posterior Auricular Artery 7,Maxillary Artery 8,Superficial Temporal Artery Superficial Temporal Artery is the last branch and it ends by anastomosing withSupraorbital branch of Internal carotid artery
