Signs (objective) Pulse. Checking the pulse allows the control of heart rate, which consists of three phases: contraction, relaxation, and pause. Shrinking the heart pushes blood into the arterial wave. The wave has struck with flexible walls of the arteries, pushes them, and this is felt with a shock pulse. Interval between shocks correspond to phase relaxation and rest. In observing the pulse draws attention to its characteristics such as speed, tension and rhythm. Sick people should be checked regularly pulse, ie, 2 times a day, and those who have the disorder, more appropriately, in a reasonable position, even every few minutes. Pulse can be studied in all the arteries running close under the skin, ie the radius – in the wrist, on its inner side in the extension of the thumb, the jugular – below the angle of the jaw (the lower jaw), temporal – just before the ear, or the dorsal foot .
