NOT a pulse point in the arm?

Explanation:
Pulse points are arteries you can feel by palpation to assess circulation. In the arm, you can usually feel the brachial pulse (often at the inner elbow), the radial pulse (at the wrist on the thumb side), and the ulnar pulse (at the wrist on the opposite side). The femoral artery, however, is located in the thigh, running through the femoral triangle in the groin area, and is not accessible as an arm pulse point. So the one that doesn’t belong to the arm is the femoral pulse, since it’s in the leg rather than the arm.
