Several stages of the nerves (pulse)

Introduction

In earlier time, to known the blood movement and palpitation, pulse was examined. For this purpose, the pulse of the hand was used. Blood goes on circulating in the arteries, situated in the wrist near karasthi. Normally, this artery is known to be pulse. Everybody knows that examine the pulse is necessary for tracing disease. The pulse rate can be felt by pressing the wrist lightly with the help of three fingers carefully.

If the pulse seems too thin, it is small.
If the pulse is thin like thread, it is called thready.
If the pulse feels tough, it is called hard.
If the pulse seems warm, it should be considered as soft.
If the pulse feels solid, it is known to be strong.
If the pulse seems weak, it is called weak.
If there is no pulse found in the wrist, it is called pulse less.
If the pulse rate had stopped while examine the wrist, it is called compressible pulse.
If pulse rate goes on even after pressing while examine, it is called incompressible pulse.
If the pulse rate is fast, it is called quick pulse.
If the pulse rate is slow, it is called slow pulse.
If the pulse rate goes on at constant speed, it is called uniform or regular.
If the pulse rate does not constant, it is called irregular.
If pulse rate stops for a little while, it is called intermittent.
If pulse rate goes on haltingly, it is called jerking.
If the pulse rate tremors, it is called tremulous.
If the pulse rate feels two times at the same moment, it is called dicrotic.
