Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pulse is a rhythmic expansion and retrogression of the arteries. Pulse is the result of a pressure wave produced by the contraction of the heart, in other words, the pulse is caused by the blood pressure in the artery wall and corresponds to your heartbeat. The pulse can be felt in any artery that passes over a bone that is close enough to the surface of the body.

Feeling pulse is one of the signs that identifies the medical profession, and has been doing so for many centuries. In addition to giving information, this action can give the doctor time to think about what procedure to use to treat the patient.
