The pulse Dr. Miller is feeling in the groove between the first and second toe and palpating up towards the leg is referred to as the dorsalis pedis pulse. However, based on the responses you provided, it seems "the dorsal pulse" might be the intended answer, but this terminology is less common. If that is the best option available, then you would choose the dorsal pulse.
