All of the Following Blood Vessels are Commonly Used to Feel

Question

All of the following blood vessels are commonly used to feel the pulse EXCEPT the
A)radial artery.
B)brachial artery.
C)popliteal artery.
D)pulmonary artery.
E)common carotid artery.

Accepted Answer

The pulmonary artery is not commonly used to feel the pulse. It is a large blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, and its pulsations cannot be felt on the surface of the body. The other options (radial, brachial, popliteal, and common carotid arteries) are commonly used to feel the pulse in different parts of the body.
