Excerpt from Student's Guide to the Examination of the Pulse, and Use of the Sphygmograph
AT each contraction of the left ventricle, some five or six ounces of blood are suddenly propelled into the aorta, and a blood-wave is generated, which is rapidly propagated through the arterial system. The temporary distension of the arterial walls which is caused by this blood-wave, can be felt by the finger or measured by the sphygmograph, and is termed the pulse.
