pulse -
A normally regular beat felt when arteries are depressed, caused by the pumping action of the heart.
A person's pulse represents the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat. Sphygmology is a term from perhaps the 2nd century AD that roughly translates as "all that is known about the pulse". The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed against a bone, such as at the neck, at the wrist, behind the knee, on the inside of the elbow, and near the ankle joint (posterior tibial artery).
