Is it true or false that you can feel pulse in veins?
True, you can feel a pulse in veins, particularly in larger veins close to the surface of the skin, such as those in the neck or the wrist. However, the pulse is more commonly associated with arteries, where the pressure from the heartbeat is felt. In veins, the pulse may be less noticeable due to lower pressure and blood flow dynamics.
Where do you find the carotid pulse?

Why is the pulse of the neck checked instead of the radial pulse?

No, they don't.Out of the 3 blood vessels: veins, arteries and capillaries, only the ARTERIES have a pulse. This pulse occurs because of the method the arteries use to pump blood.

Which blood vessel has a pulse?
Arteries have a pulse due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates a pressure wave that can be felt as the pulse in arteries. Veins do not have a pulse as they carry blood back to the heart at a lower pressure.
