Explanation:
1. All arteries have a pulse, but it is most easily felt at points where the vessel approaches the surface of the body.
2. Blood carries oxygen and other important nutrients that all body organs need to stay healthy and to work properly. Your heart is a muscle, and its job is to pump blood throughout your circulatory system.
3. The pulse rate is exactly equal to the heartbeat, as the contractions of the heart cause the increases in blood pressure in the arteries that lead to a noticeable pulse. Taking the pulse is, therefore, a direct measure of heart rate.
4. The pulse you feel in your temples is normal and comes from your superficial temporal artery which is a branch of your external carotid artery.
5. A pulse can be felt by applying firm fingertip pressure to the skin at sites where the arteries travel near the skin's surface; it is more evident when surrounding muscles are relaxed. Common pulse points include the carotid artery of the neck, the brachial artery inside the elbow, and the radial artery in the wrist.
