It is not as strong as the carotid or radial pulses. Although heart rate can be determined by taking the pulse in this area, it is not used to determine heart rate or as a sign of life. The posterior tibial artery is one of several important arteries in the body, and because of ...
Place your index and 3rdfingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. Alternatively, place 2 fingers between the bone and tendon over your radial artery – which is located on the thumb side of your wrist. When you feel your pulse, count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply...

Pulse frequency: number of pulse beats per minute. Pulse rhythm: temporal sequence of the pulse beats. Pulse quality: type of pulse beat felt (soft, hard). Radial pulse is the pulse in the area of the wrist on the thumb side (radial artery). Other pulse types, depending on their “mea...

Computers present the information in two types of Doppler maps. In a reflectivity map, precipitation information is color coded by intensity and superimposed on a geographic map that indicates positioning. A second Doppler map displays a storm’sradial velocity, which can be used to determined wind...
Your radial artery, located near where your wrist bone meets your thumb muscle Your carotid artery, located on the side of your neck just below your jawbone (Don’t check your pulse here if you have carotid artery disease, in which plaque builds up on the walls of the carotid artery.) ...
