The radial pulse is felt on the wrist, just under the thumb.
This area must be special on controlling blood flow, is there any related reference to describe on how it works?

Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^)

I think that those pulse on wrist are triggered by electricity through nerve system, which control muscle to act as a pump like a second heart.

I can feel those pulse existing on everywhere inside the body, and would like to know how they work.

Do you have any suggestions?

The seven major locations where pulse is measured are the following:

Temporal: It is felt in the head.
Carotid: It is felt in the neck.
Branchial: It is felt in the elbow.
Femoral: It is felt at the groin.
Radial: It is felt on the wrist.
Popliteal: It is felt on the knee.
Dorsalis pedis: It is felt on the foot.

However, you can measure your pulse rate anywhere an artery comes close to the skin.
