Apex beat. The apex beat (lat. ictus cordis ), also called the apical impulse, [1] is the pulse felt at the point of maximum impulse ( PMI ), which is the point on the precordium farthest outwards (laterally) and downwards (inferiorly) from the sternum at which the cardiac impulse can be felt. The cardiac impulse is the vibration resulting from ...
Overview. Your pulse is the vibration of blood as your heart pumps it through your arteries. You can feel your pulse by placing your fingers over a large artery that lies close to your skin. The ...
Method 1: Radial pulse. To check your pulse using this method, you’ll be finding the radial artery. Place your pointer and middle fingers on the inside of your opposite wrist just below the ...
The AV node is labelled 2. The atrioventricular node or AV node electrically connects the heart 's atria and ventricles to coordinate beating in the top of the heart; it is part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. [1] The AV node lies at the lower back section of the interatrial septum near the opening of the coronary sinus, and ...
The point spread function ( PSF) describes the response of a focused optical imaging system to a point source or point object. A more general term for the PSF is the system's impulse response; the PSF is the impulse response or impulse response function (IRF) of a focused optical imaging system. The PSF in many contexts can be thought of as the ...
You can calculate heart rate zones as percentages of your maximum heart rate. Heart rate zone. % of maximum heart rate (as defined by the American College of Sports Medicine) zone 1 (very light ...
Orbit phasing. In astrodynamics, orbit phasing is the adjustment of the time-position of spacecraft along its orbit, usually described as adjusting the orbiting spacecraft's true anomaly. [1] Orbital phasing is primarily used in scenarios where a spacecraft in a given orbit must be moved to a different location within the same orbit.
To count your baby's pulse, you will need a clock or watch with a second hand. Feel for the brachial or femoral pulse and count it for 15 seconds. Multiply the beats counted in 15 seconds by 4 to ...
