Veins take blood back to the heart.
So the pluse created from the heart beating is felt as a surge of blood in an artery. by the time the surge of blood has passed through the network of arterioles and capillaries the surge has died down.

∙ 11y agoYou cannot feel a pulse over veins. But you can feel pulse over arteries.. as a matter of fact, when drawing blood from a patient, you are supposed to stay away from arteries because of the pressure of the blood that is being pumped directly from the heart. Arteries is where you feel the pulse.

What do veins have that arteries don't have?
Arteries have a pulse
Is it possible to feel a heartbeat in your leg?
Of course! You have veins and arteries in your leg and you can feel the pulse of the blood going through them.
Is it true that the pulse can be felt on arteries but not on veins?
Yes, it's true. The beating of the heart only drives blood in the arteries. As the blood passes from the arteries to the capillaries and then to the veins, it ceases to be pumped by the heart, so no pulse can be felt. Blood in the veins returns to the heart because of the valves in the veins, and because of general muscular contractions in the body, rather than because of the heart.
Does the brain have a pulse?
The brain itself does not pulse, but it does have a blood flow. The veins and arteries do have a pulse.
Does a caplillary have a pulse?
No, they don't.Out of the 3 blood vessels: veins, arteries and capillaries, only the ARTERIES have a pulse. This pulse occurs because of the method the arteries use to pump blood. When you feel for a pulse on the neck, wrist etc... you are pressing the artery against bone which is how the rhythem is felt. Hope this helped :)
What veins in neck have pulse?
None. The carotid arteries do.
What blood vessel can be felt in blood vessels?
Blood vessels that are larger can be felt, like arteries and veins, though it is easier to feel arteries because they have a pulse.
What causes the pulse at your wrist?
Your pulse is found wherever you have arteries. Veins do not have pulses as the pressure in veins is much less than in arteries. You have arteries throughout your body as that is how your body gets new oxygen. Veins take the blood back to the heart and lungs to get more oxygen to take to the arteries. Since the veins are farther from the side of the heart that has the newly oxygenated blood the pressure in them is less. How strong the pulse is depends on how large of an artery you feel it in. Glad to help(:
Which vessels can you feel a pulse?
Arteries
Why pulse are felt at specific body location?
Veins or arteries are close to the surface,
What causes the pulse to occur?
The human pulse occurs as blood is pulsed throughout the body. The veins and arteries contract, causing the pulse to occur.
Why is there no pulse in vains?
There is no pulse in veins due to the relatively low pressure which the blood is under. In arteries, the pulse we feel is just the muscular arterial walls contracting as blood forces itself through at a far greater pressure in relation to venal blood.
