Short note on :Pulse.

Answer»

1. A pressure wave that travels through the arteries after each ventricular systole is called a pulse.

2. The pulse can be felt in any artery that lies near the surface of the body. 

3. The radial artery at the wrist is most commonly used to feel the pulse. 

4. The pulse rate per minute indicates the heart rate. Since each heartbeat generates one pulse in the arteries, the pulse rate is same as that of heart rate, 

i.e. 72 times per minute.
