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.

∙ 13y agoThe pulse can be felt most easily in these areas, because the artery is closest to the skin here. When the heart beats, blood is pushed through the arteries away from the heart and through these points (neck; carotid artery, wrist; brachial artery, elbow; antecubital space, and femoral and popliteal arteries) the pulse is the heart beat you feel.

∙ 9y agoThe heart beat felt on the wrist is called a pulse. A pulse is a good indicator of someone's health, fitness and heart rate. Dead people do not have a pulse.

How a pulse rate taken at the wrist relates to the beating of the heart?
When a person's pulse is taken at the wrist, the number of times pressure or a beat can be felt within a certain period of time is measured. This beat is blood rushing through the arteries of the body/wrist. The blood which rushed through and caused the beat is the result of one beat of the heart.
