when it is at rest.
Pulse: Pulses are better felt over arteries close to the body surface.
and rest on bones. These should be felt with the fingertips
following the arterial trajectory in a comparative manner.
c) Body temperature: Body temperature is the result of a balance
between the generation and loss of heat.
d) Blood pressure: It is the force that blood exerts against the walls of the
arteries to the blood flow.
