Why the pulse in the carotid artery is stronger than the pulse near your wrish?
The pulse is stronger in the carotid artery than the brachial artery due to its greater size and greater blood flow. The carotid artery delivers blood to the head and especially the brain, so it must deliver a bigger percentage of blood flow. The brachial artery delivers blood to the arm which is at rest much of the time. The brain requires enough blood flow and oxygen that it is supplied by both the carotid arteries (2) and the vertebral arteries (2) as well."HealthYes!

The second branch of the Aortic Arch is the left common carotid artery, which divides intothe left internal carotid artery that supplies the brain and the left external carotid artery that supplies muscles and the skin of the neck and head. the third branch of the Aortic Arch Is the Left subclavian artery, which branches in to the vertebral artery that supplies parts of the brain. In the axillary are of the body, the subclavian artey is know as the axillary artery, which continues down the arm as the brachial artery. Near the elbow joint divides into the radial and ulnar arteries, which supply the forearm.

In medicine, one's pulse represents the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat by trained fingertips. The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed against a bone, such as at the neck (carotid artery), at the wrist (radial artery), behind theknee (popliteal artery), on the inside of the elbow (brachial artery), and near the ankle joint(posterior tibial artery). The pulse can also be measured by listening to the heart beat directly (auscultation), traditionally using a stethoscope.
