What is another artery that can be used (other than brachial artery) to indirectly measure blood pressure?

There's also the radial artery that is located in the wrist.

Other than the brachial artery, another artery than can be used to indirectly measure blood pressure is the radial artery. The radial artery is located in the wrist. It is the continuation of the brachial artery. The radial artery is one of those arteries than can be used when measuring blood pressure through palpation or the palpatory blood pressure.
