ANS 9) The arteries used to detect pulse are :

Radial artery present in wrist which is the most common one. and Carotid artery present in neck, Brachial artery present in elbow and Femoral artery of groin.

ANS 10) Median cubital vein is commonly used to draw a blood sample but sometimes even cephalic and basilic vein can be chosen for collecting blood.
