Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is : (a) arteries.

Explanation:

• Pulse can be defined as the throbbing of the arteries at regular intervals due to the ejection of blood :

1. from the left ventricle into the aorta and,
2. from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery at high pressure,

followed by the instant closure of the semilunar valves in between the left ventricle and the aorta and the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery respectively.
