		The leaves are usually compound; the fruit is a legume (a type of pod); and the blossoms may have an irregular butterflylike (papilionaceous) shape.
		Legumes provide valuable and nutritive foods because the food stored for the embryo in the seed (e.g., the pea) is rich in protein.
		Nitrogen-fixing bacteria dwelling in nodules of the roots of most legumes fix free nitrogen from the air into the nitrogenous compounds needed by all forms of life for building proteins (see nitrogen cycle).

	Pulse Summary
		Pulses are often constructed so that they are very short; this means that the pulse is highly localized in a very narrow spatial region, so the entire pulse will pass by a given point on the string very quickly.
		The pulse results from pressure waves moving through the blood vessels, which are pliable; it is not caused by the forward movement of the blood.
		The absence of a pulse at the temple of the skull can be a sign of giant cell arteritis; absent or decreased pulses in the limbs may indicate peripheral artery occlusive disease.
