Palpable pulses are the tangible heartbeats that can be felt in various arterial sites throughout the body, such as at the wrist and neck.
To check for blood flow distal from an injury.
The term palpable means that something can be felt.
As a very distal location, there are not many palpable pulses in foot. Thou the posterior fibular artery (which passes in the medial posterior part of your anckle) might be felt in cases of high heartbeat frequency
Examples : "The tension in the room was palpable as we waited for the results to be announced." "There was palpable discontent in the union meeting." Watching the fighter planes streak across the horizon, the civilians felt a moment of palpable terror.
3-4 fifths palpable means that 60% to 80% of the organ can be felt.
It is possible to have a pulse but no breathing as in asphyxiation, but the reverse is impossible, without a pulse you basically aren't alive, that pulse is a symbol of blood pumping through your body. Good answer above. I should add that, in some subjects, that pulse may be there but not be palpable.
