The radial artery is used most often for a pulse. But in the case of someone who is not responding the carotid is checked. It is awkward to ask questions when taking a pulse rate at the carotid.

There are receptors on the lining of the carotid artery that sense a change in blood pressure. When they are stimulated, they can cause a drop in blood pressure/heart rate.
The heart rate would slow down because of the stilumation of the parasympathetic system. And you spelled "massage" wrong.
In the human, the superficial temporal artery is the major artery of the head. You palpate, or feel for the pulse, of this artery about one inch in front of the ear. The easy way to find it is to put on a pair of glasses (sunglasses will do) and it is just under the earpiece just in front of the ear.
The Carotid pulse is found in the neck. The Radial pulse is found in the wrist.
If the carotid bodies are removed during the process the respiration rate may not increase as effectively in response to low levels of oxygen. Carotid artery disease occurs when the major arteries in your neck become narrowed or blocked.
You are measuring heart rate.

More or less that is true but in the wrist you are looking for the radial artery. This artery is clearly visible on the wrist. Press this artery lightly with flat fingers.

Two commonly used sites for assessing pulse in an emergency situation are the carotid artery located in the neck and the radial artery located in the wrist. These sites are easily accessible and provide accurate readings of the heart rate.
The most commonly used pulse sites are the radial artery located in the wrist, the carotid artery in the neck, and the brachial artery in the elbow. These pulse sites are easily accessible and are often checked to assess heart rate and rhythm.
