Actually, the severing of one of the five arteries behind the tonsil (i.e., the tonsillar artery, the ascending palatine artery, the descending palatine artery, the ascending pharyngeal artery and the dorsal lingual artery) is not a major post-operative concern. It is the proximate VEIN (i.e., the external palatine vein) that causes severe hemorrhaging after surgery.
While it is true that arteries can be cauterized immediately after rupturing (and are easily identifiable because the bleeding is so profuse at that instant), veins collapse when they are cut and usually do not cause problems until after the patient has been discharged.
There are several unfortunate accounts of post-operative tonsillectomy hemorrhaging conveyed on several websites, as well as in the New York Times, where this type of hemorrhaging occurred in small children who subsequently passed away. :(

Palpable uterine artery pulsation refers to a medical doctor feeling the uterine artery when your heart beats. Studies are underway to determine if a palpable uterine artery is a possible indicator of early pregnancy.
The radial artery, carotid artery, and the brachial artery can be used to feel your pulse; but only if you feel them with your tongue. The easiest to do the radial artery, located in your elbow.
