When assessing a pulse site what type of vessels is palpated in every scenarios?

When assessing a pulse site, arteries are palpated in every scenario. This is because pulses are the result of the rhythmic expansion and contraction of arterial walls as blood is pumped through them by the heart. Common pulse sites include the radial, carotid, and femoral arteries, where the pulse can be felt due to the proximity of these arteries to the skin's surface. Palpating veins generally does not provide a pulse sensation.
