The heart beat felt in the wrist?
At the wrist, there's a fairly large blood vessel that runs close to the skin, which makes it easy to feel. Most other places the big vessels run deeper in your body. And what's causing the pulse, that's the heart beat. Every time the heart beats, it push out a squirt of blood, causing the pressure in the blood vessels to increase for a moment. Where the vessels are close to the skin, we can feel it To make it more easier, listen to this. It is because of the pumping of blood by the heart to our different arteries.

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.
