It is possible to have a pulse but no breathing as in asphyxiation, but the reverse is impossible, without a pulse you basically aren't alive, that pulse is a symbol of blood pumping through your body. Good answer above. I should add that, in some subjects, that pulse may be there but not be palpable.
Not all living things have a heart that pumps blood in a cyclic fashion, which is what creates a pulse. The pulse is an increase in arterial pressure associated with blood being pumped by a contraction of the left ventricle. All mammals and birds have a pulse.
To take a pulse, you typically count the number of beats over a period of 15 seconds and then multiply that number by 4 to get the beats per minute. This method helps give an accurate representation of the pulse rate without requiring a full minute to count.
Because an inactive person does not have as strong a heart muscle as an active person, therefore the heart must beat more frequently to pump the same amount of a blood that an active person's heart can pump with one beat.
Medical Assistants listen and watch for respiration while taking a pulse reading because: 1) They are multi-tasking 2) They are trying to do it inconspicuously so that the patient doesn't purposely breathe too fast or too slow, affecting the pulse. T.Cooper, MA Student
The normal range for pulse rates in adults is typically between 60-100 beats per minute at rest. However, factors such as age, fitness level, and health conditions can affect an individual's normal pulse rate. It's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
Someone is considered dead when one cannot breathe without assistance, has no coughing or gagging reflex, has no pupil response to light, has no blinking reflex when the cornea is touched, has no grimace reflex when the head is rotated or ears are flushed with ice water, and has no response to pain.
No, your period has no effect on your pulse.
CPR for the lay person, denoted just CPR, there is no longer a pulse check for an adult, so once CPR is started, it will be continued unless the person begins to show signs of life. In CPR-FPR (CPR for the Professional Rescuer) there is still a circulation check, so RB at 1 breath / 5 seconds is part of that certification. To specifically answer your question, most people would do CPR and not check for a pulse on an adult, because it is not part of the curriculum. For a professional person, they would perform rescue breathing with a pulse and CPR without a pulse.
The signs/symptoms are in the question itself... the person is apneic and has no pulse.

No, it measures your heart rate. Number of times it beats in a minute.
The person will die.

When your having a Ding removed.
Yes. You do CPR to mimic the action of the heart. If a person has a pulse it means their heart is pumping. If you give CPR to someone with no pulse, when their heart starts again they will typically vomit as a result of all the pushing on the chest. At that point stop and roll them on to their side so they dont choke. Edit: Dont confuse not breathing with a stopped heart. A person can have a pulse and still not be breathing. Think of being underwater. If you come across a person that is not breathing but has a pulse you need to open the airway. Lay them on their back, tilt the head backwards and open the jaw. Look for and clear any obstructions in their mouth.
Yes they do, they also have a pulse, buts its slower than a humans.
Yes, the pulse tends to slow with aging.
