Ans:A. Catacrotic pulse.
The normal arterial pulse is known as catacrotic pulse.
- It has a percussion wave (P wave which is the rapid upstroke in pulse)
- Tidal wave (T wave).
- Dicrotic notch and dicrotic wave.
In the peripheral arterial pulses, dicrotic notch and wave are not clearly discernible.
