The carotid artery runs down each side of the neck. I can check my carotid pulse in a second but I cannot find a pulse in my wrist.

The long bone is the collar bone. Using the middle fingers on your right hand go half way up between the collar bone and the jaw bone, right next to the left side of your wind pipe. You can also find it on the right side as the arteries are on both sides.

These blood vessels are the supply lines of oxygenated blood to the head and brain so they are very important!

I hope that this is helpful.

Jennydog I can feel that pulse but I can sometimes see my neck pulseing just directly above collarbone either side of windpipe

Could it be the same blood vessels further down? I can't see anything but that's probably because I'm fatter than you!
