Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The brachial artery is typically used to determine blood pressure, as it is easily accessible and has a similar pressure to the larger arteries in the body. The carotid artery is not commonly used due to the risk of causing a stroke if the artery is stimulated too much. The renal and coronary arteries are not typically used to determine blood pressure as they are in different locations and have different functions.
