According to Drugs.com, pulse points are located throughout your body. The main pulse points can be found on the wrist and neck, and the pulse point on the wrist is on the inside of the wrist by the thumb.
According to Patient.co.uk, the pulse point on the wrist is called the radial pulse. To take the pulse at this pulse point, the arm should be bent at the elbow with the palm of the hand facing up. The opposite middle and index finger are then placed over the wrist and moved around slowly until the heart beat can be felt through the fingers. The same two fingers should be used to find the carotid pulse in the neck, but Drugs.com emphasizes that one should press only on one side of the neck at a time.
