polso arterioso

Sign in to save

Also known as pulse rate

urto dell'onda sistolica nelle arterie, che può essere percepito con la palpazione dei vasi arteriosi

AI overview

Your pulse is the rhythmic throbbing you feel in your arteries as your heart beats, pumping blood through your body. Doctors and nurses commonly measure it at your wrist or neck because these locations allow easy access to arteries near the skin's surface, making it a quick way to check your heart rate and overall health.
