Pulse


Your pulse is a pressure wave created with each beat of your heart's left ventricle. When you feel for your pulse, you usually feel for it on your wrist or neck. There are actually more sites on your body where your pulse can be palpated (felt).
Fun fact: In a normal resting person, the average pulse/heart rate is 70-76 beats per minute (bpm).
