[Answer] Which of the following digits on your hand has its own pulse?

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


Which of the following digits on your hand has its own pulse?


  • Thumb:If you’ve ever watched someone take their pulse, you will notice that the index and middle fingers are always pressed against the neck’s carotid artery, which is responsible for supplying blood to the brain. There's a reason why doctors use these fingers as opposed to, say, their thumbs. While your thumb is useful for many things, checking your pulse is not one of them. The thumb, unlike your other four digits, has its own artery, the princeps pollicis. This renders it unreliable as a pulse reader because you will feel your thumb's pulse rather than the artery in your neck.
