What's a pulse? Is it a type of animal? Google said: a rhythmical throbbing of the arteries as blood is propelled through them, typically as felt in the wrists or neck. edit: No need for the downvotes guys, I was genuinely curious. I bet not everyone knows pulses are legumes. Also OP used "pulse" in the singular, which most people (I think?) understand as the definition I pasted from Google.
