popliteal pulse site Answer: back of knee
radial pulse site Answer: Located at the wrist on the thumb side
dorsalis pedis pulse site Answer: top of foot

ischemia Answer: Lack of blood supply, causes pain
necrosis Answer: long term lack of blood supply, tissue death

works for it when legs are down, causes impotence in males, can affect nails/toes
