There are two main sounds related to heart ryhtym.
The first is called the S1 or Sound 1, and coloquially referred to as the "Lubb." It is the first sound of the heart beat and relates to the closing of the Atrioventricular Valves in the first part of the heart contraction.
The second sound is called the S2 or Sound 2, and is known commonly as the "Dupp." It is usually a sharper, louder sound and is related to the closing of the semilunar valves as blood is forced completely out of the heart.
Blood pressure. This is the device used to measure a person's blood pressure in millimeters of Mercury.
A pulse is the rhythmic pressure against the walls of an artery that is caused by the heart's contractions. The larges arteries provide some of the easiest locations to measure the pulse.
Rhythmic changes in blood pressure, known as blood pressure variability, can be influenced by factors such as physical activity, stress, and circadian rhythms. These fluctuations are important for maintaining overall cardiovascular health and can indicate potential issues if they are too extreme or irregular. Monitoring blood pressure at different times throughout the day can provide valuable insights into an individual's cardiovascular health.
Blood pressure is taken with a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope.

No, taking blood pressure in the leg is not the same as taking it in the arm. Blood pressure is typically measured in the arm because it provides a good reflection of overall systemic blood pressure. Taking blood pressure in the leg can be done in certain medical situations, but the values may differ from those obtained in the arm.
When taking a person's blood pressure the stethoscope should be placed in the brachial artery.
if your taking blood pressure in the anticubital area (crease of the elbow) then you would palpate the brachial artery.

Blood pressure in newborns is not a good indicator of health. Taking blood pressure of a newborn is usually not done unless there is an underlying issue (i.e. cardiac issues). Blood pressure is usually taken using the thigh.
you can determine the maximum inflation point when taking blood pressure by using palpation.
Arteries have a pulse due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates a pressure wave that can be felt as the pulse in arteries. Veins do not have a pulse as they carry blood back to the heart at a lower pressure.
