A person's pulse is the frequency of his heartbeat, usually measured in beats per minute. As the heart pumps blood, the body's primary artery, the aorta, expands and contracts rhythmically along with the heartbeat. These arterial contractions happen throughout the body, also at the same pace at the heartbeat. There are several sites on the body where a pulse is normally taken. All arteries have a pulse, but it is easier to palpate (feel) the pulse at certain locations. It is easier to feel the pulse when the artery is near the surface of the skin and when there is firm tissue (such as a bone) beneath the artery. The most common site for a person to measure his own pulse is radial (wrist). Other sites where this sensation can be felt are carotid (throat) and brachial (inside of elbow).
