1st year- Physiology Lab
By the end of the practical students should be
able to:
 Identify Radial, Carotid, and brachial pulses in a subject.
 Record Radial pulse in resting state and after physical
exercise.
 Describe division of nervous system.
 Describe origin, types and functions of the autonomic
nervous system.
 List differences between sympathetic and parasympathetic
nervous system.

Practical Outline
• Composition of Nervous system
• Differences between sympathetic and
parasympathetic nervous system.
• Regulatory effects of autonomic nervous
system.
• Procedure of radial pulse recording.

Nervous system regulates body activities rapidly
through nerve impulses (action potentials).
Nervous system is divided into two main parts:
 A. Central Nervous System (CNS)
Brain and spinal cord.
 B. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Composed of all nerves coming out or into the CNS.
These include spinal and cranial nerves. (Somatic &
autonomic nervous system)

Recording radial & carotid pulse
28/02/2021
13
Procedure
The subject should be in a resting state
(physically and mentally) before recording
the pulse. Make the subject to lie down/sit
down comfortably at the examination
table/chair for some time.
Place fingertips (ring, middle and index
finger) over the radial artery in the
ventrolateral region near the subject's wrist
joint.
Feel and count the number of pulses for
30Sec. and note them down by multiplying
with 2 to convert it into the number of heart
beats per minute. 28/02/2021
14
 Repeat the pulse counting twice and note down the
reading in pulses per min.
 Calculate the average of these three values and
note down in the table.
 Repeat the whole above procedure after proper
physical exercise. For exercise purposes, run and
take three to five rounds in the lab corridor or if
treadmill is available do exercise at least 2-3
minutes.
 Measure the radial pulse and record your
observation in the given table.
 Note the time of the radial pulse come to the
normal resting state after exercise.
