Which one of the following group of arteries are located superficially in human body?
- APulmonary artery, carotid artery, coronary artery.
- Correct answerBRadial artery, brachial artery, carotid artery
- CCoronary artery, aortic arch, brachial artery.
- DSubclavian artery, radial artery, femoral artery.
Solution
Superficial arteries are those located close to the surface of the body, which allows their pulsations to be easily felt (palpated).
The radial artery is located superficially at the wrist and is commonly used to check the pulse.
The brachial artery is located superficially on the inside of the elbow and is used to measure blood pressure and check the pulse in infants.
The carotid artery is located superficially in the neck and is used to check the pulse during CPR.
Other arteries like the pulmonary artery, coronary artery, aortic arch, and subclavian artery are located deep within the body cavity.
Answer: Radial artery, brachial artery, carotid artery
The radial artery is located superficially at the wrist and is commonly used to check the pulse.
The brachial artery is located superficially on the inside of the elbow and is used to measure blood pressure and check the pulse in infants.
The carotid artery is located superficially in the neck and is used to check the pulse during CPR.
Other arteries like the pulmonary artery, coronary artery, aortic arch, and subclavian artery are located deep within the body cavity.
Answer: Radial artery, brachial artery, carotid artery
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
