Pulse located at the knee is which artery?

Femoral

Popliteal

The pulse felt behind the knee comes from the popliteal artery. It runs in the popliteal fossa behind the knee and is the continuation of the femoral artery after it passes through the adductor hiatus, so palpating there checks blood flow into the lower leg. The other pulses are in different locations: the femoral pulse is in the groin, the radial pulse at the wrist, and the carotid pulse in the neck.

Radial

Carotid
