Subclavian artey becomes axillary artery. Axillary artery becomes brachial artery. Brachial artery divides into radial and ulnar branches. You palpate radial artery at distal end of radius bone. So you feel a pulse betwwen radius and your fingers. So it is better felt than ulnar artery.

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.


What produces a pulse at a human's wrist?

Under the skin of your wrist is the radial artery. This artery is the main blood vessel of your whole forearm, which makes it an easy place to find and feel your pulse.


Why would the dorsalis pedis pulse be taken?

The dorsalis pedis pulse is taken to assess blood flow to the foot and lower extremities. It is commonly checked in patients with peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, or in a general cardiovascular assessment. A weak or absent dorsalis pedis pulse can indicate reduced blood supply to the lower extremities.


When the amount or volume of blood pumped by the heart to the different body parts is affected when your pulse rate increased if so how?

Increased pulse rate means faster blood, and when blood goes from a vessel with a larger diameter to a smaller ones such as capilaries, it naturally speeds up. It would speed up more and depending on the vessel's wall resistance, might rupture the capilary.


Why is your pulse taken from either your neck and wrist?

Your pulse is taken from either your neck or wrist is because you have major veins in those areas that pumps blood to the heart, which is sent in rhythms synced with your heart. You have artery's in your neck, which is the Jugular Arteries. Blood is pumped out of the heart to arteries which give blood to the rest of the body. Those to places have strong sync with the heart which lead to the beat being in rhythm.
