• Radial, ulnar, scapular, femoral, popliteal, occipital, axillary, temporal, apical

• Radial, carotid, brachial, femoral, patellar, occipital, axillary, temporal, apical

• Radial, carotid, brachial, femoral, popliteal, occipital, axillary, temporal, apical

Characteristics of respirations include:
