Pulse is the rhythmic contraction and relaxation in the aorta and its main arteries. The pulse rate is same as the heart rate because an artery pulses every time the heart beats. It is usually taken on the radial artery in the wrist but it can be taken on any artery that flows near enough to the surface of the body to be felt. The heart beat originates from the sinoatrial node (SA node)- a pacemaker. It is a mass of neuromuscular tissue.
Atrioventricular node(AV node) is situated in the wall of right atrium. It picks up the wave of concentration propogated by SA node. Bundle of His originates from AV node. They further divide into a network of fine fibres known as Purkinje fibres.
