Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulse is the rhythmic contraction and expansion of arteries that is caused by the flow of blood from the heart. As arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, a pulse can only be felt in arteries and not veins. Hence, option C is the correct choice. Pulse can be felt in different parts of the body where an artery passes close to the skin, such as the wrist, neck, temple, groin, or ankle.
