20 Arteries Visible pulsations from arteries are observed when compression is applied with the transducer to soft tissue. The amount of compression necessary for this depends on many variables, including the blood pressure, size and depth of the artery, and proximity of the artery to bone. Adjusting the amount of transducer compression to elicit visible pulsations is the fastest way to identify arteries. In some cases it is necessary to apply Doppler. Arteries have thicker walls than veins and do not have valves. Almost every peripheral nerve has a long running path with accompanying artery or vein.
