Veins/arteries near the surface are pulsed by the heart as blood is pumped through them, this creates the expand/contract feeling you get when finding your pulse.

Which pulse is closer to the heart?
If the question is where the closest location to get a pulse in relation to the heart is, then it is the coroteid artery, also known as the jugular, found on either side of the neck. The other locations are on the wrist, the inside of the arm, the arm pit, the inside of the femur for the femoral artery and the top of the foot. The pulse can be obtained from the temple as well, but is hard to actually feel with the fingertip and impossible to feel on infants.

Where can you feel tghe pulse of axillary artery?
This is a tough pulse to read unless your know exactly where to feel. To find it, point your arm in front of you, then bend your arm at a 90 degree angle upward without flexing your muscle, and take your index and middle finder about 1/2 of the way from your shoulder on the inside and between your tricep and bicep toward the center of the humorus. It is slight, but if done correctly you should feel it. I would suggest getting the radial pulse (just below the hand thumb side) depending what you are doing with the pulse.
