The experiment relates the circulatory system to the pulse as it measures how quickly the heart contracts and releases blood. Pulse is measured in beats per minute (bpm). One’s pulse is loudest near the heart‚ because there is more pressure closer to the heart. In contrast‚ one’s pulse is quieter the further away it is measured from the heart‚ because there is less pressure the further the distance
