Question

Pulse beat is measured from-

A.

Capillary

B.

Nerve

C.

Artery

D.

Vein

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Artery.
· The pulse beat is measured from an artery.
· Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, and the rhythmic expansion and contraction of an artery as blood is pumped through it by the heart creates a detectable pulse.
· This pulse is typically measured at various points on the body where arteries are close to the skin, such as the wrist (radial artery) or neck (carotid artery).
Additional Knowledge:
· Capillary: Capillaries are tiny blood vessels where exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients occurs; they do not produce a detectable pulse.
· Nerve: Nerves transmit electrical signals and are not related to blood flow or pulse.
· Vein: Veins carry blood back to the heart and do not have a pulse because they lack the pressure wave created by the heart's contractions.
