The radial pulse is located in the wrist at the end of the radial artery. It is the most common place for healthcare professionals to take a patient's pulse.
The radial artery is located in the forearm, running along the radial side (thumb side) of the arm. It originates from the brachial artery at the elbow and travels down towards the wrist, where it can be palpated near the base of the thumb. This artery is key for supplying blood to the lateral aspect of the forearm and hand.
The three sections of the radial artery are found in the forearm, at the back of the wrist on the thumb side, and in the hand.
