Peripheral pulses can be felt at six locations in the upper limb (Fig. 7.127).
Axillary pulse: axillary artery in the axilla lateral to the apex of the dome of skin covering the floor of the axilla.
Brachial pulse in midarm: brachial artery on the medial side of the arm in the cleft between the biceps brachii and triceps brachii muscles. This is the position where a blood pressure cuff is placed.
