Question: 1 / 400

The radial pulse is located in which of the following areas?

Neck

The radial pulse is a pulse that can be felt on the wrist, on the thumb side, near the base of the thumb. This pulse is caused by the blood flow through the radial artery, which runs down the forearm and along the thumb side of the wrist. Therefore, the correct answer is B Wrist. The neck, upper arm, and back of the knee do not have a strong enough artery to produce a noticeable pulse. So, while there may be some veins or capillaries present in those areas, they do not have a distinct radial pulse.
