If you are a long distance runner or triathelete, this may be normal for you. Otherwise you may have a condition called bradycardia, and you should be evaluated by a physician. Resting Pulse Rate PR < 40 BMP - Below healthy resting heart rates. PR 40-60 BPM - Resting heart rate for sleeping. PR 60-100 BPM - Healthy adult resting heartrate. PR 100 BPM - 220 BPM - Acceptable if measured during exercise. Not acceptable if resting heartrate. PR > 220 BPM - Abnormally high heart rate.
To quote an article I read from a fellow Biology instructor, entitled "everything you ever wanted to know about worms"..."From lab experiments it has been discovered that at 50C the pulse rate slows down to approximately 7 pulses /30 seconds. At 250C (room temp) the worm's pulse rate is about 15 pulses/30 seconds and in a jacuzzi of 350C the pulse rate speeds up to approximately 22 pulses/30 sec."
It measures the time it takes for the radar pulse to go from the radar gun to your vehicle and back. The pulse is fairly constant so the radar gun is getting updates and by comparing the updates to the time it can determine speed.
The point of the radial pulse is located on the patient's 'thumb' side of their wrist. You locate the patient's radial artery (pulse pont) in the patient's wrist using your middle two or three fingers. You count the number of pulses that occur in eiher 30 seconds or 1 minute. NEVER use your thumb to take a pulse. You would then be feeling your OWN 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.
The five upper limb pulse points are the radial pulse, found at the wrist on the thumb side; the ulnar pulse, located on the wrist on the pinky side; the brachial pulse, felt in the inner arm near the elbow; the axillary pulse, found in the armpit area; and the subclavian pulse, located just above the clavicle. These pulse points are key for assessing circulation and heart rate in the upper extremities.
what does the pulse measure
Your heartbeat
Your pulse measures the action of the heart.
The pulse (usually taken in the wrist) measures the heart rate.
160
No, a thermometer measures temperature,
The normal pulse range is 30-45 for an adult horse.
lie detector
A heart-rate monitor is used.
if an angle measures 30 then it is acute
A pulse oximeter measures the body's oxygen saturation with a small clip.
