Axillary pulse: located inferiorly of the lateral wall of the axilla; Brachial pulse: located on the inside of the upper arm near the elbow, frequently used in place of carotid pulse in infants (brachial artery) Radial pulse: located on the lateral of the wrist (radial artery). It can also be found in the anatomical snuff box. Commonly, the ...

Radial artery (used to palpate radial pulse)(a terminal branch) Ulnar artery (a terminal branch) Nutrient branches to the humerus; It also gives rise to important anastomotic networks of the elbow and (as the axillary artery) the shoulder. The biceps head is lateral to the brachial artery. The median nerve is medial to the brachial artery for ...
Central pattern generators also contribute to locomotion in humans. In 1994, Calancie, et al. described the "first well-defined example of a central rhythm generator for stepping in the adult human." The subject was a 37-year-old male who suffered an injury to the cervical spinal cord 17 years prior.
The common carotid artery is often used in measuring the pulse, [3] especially in patients who are in shock and who lack a detectable pulse in the more peripheral arteries of the body. The pulse is taken by palpating the artery just deep to the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle at the level of the superior border of the thyroid ...
The carotid body is situated on the posterior aspect of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery. [3]The carotid body is made up of two types of cells, called glomus cells: glomus type I cells are peripheral chemoreceptors, and glomus type II cells are sustentacular supportive cells.
change of blood pH, detected by central chemoreceptors. [4] change of blood pH, detected by peripheral chemoreceptors in the aortic bodies and in the carotid bodies. [4] change of blood pressure, detected by arterial baroreceptors in the aortic arch and the carotid sinuses. [2] various other inputs from the hypothalamus, thalamus, and cerebral ...
The jugular venous pressure (JVP, sometimes referred to as jugular venous pulse) is the indirectly observed pressure over the venous system via visualization of the internal jugular vein. It can be useful in the differentiation of different forms of heart and lung disease .
