What is the relationship between the rate of heartbeat and pulse rate?

Solution
The contraction of auricles and ventricles creates a two-part sound known as heartbeat.
When the ventricles of the heart contract, it takes blood towards the arteries under high pressure. Due to this, the arterial walls stretch. As the ventricles relax, the pressure slows down. This stretching and relaxing of the arteries with each heartbeat is known as pulse.
