What cause a person's pulse?
A pulse in a person's arteries is felt as a wave of high pressure blood comes coursing through the vessel immediately after a heart beat. More specifically, the arterial pulse is felt as the jump in blood pressure from the diastolic pressure up to the systolic pressure. A person who has a narrow pulse width; for example 110/100 will likely have a weaker palpable pulse compared to a person with similar physique and a wider pulse pressure like 140/80.
Does your heart pump blood as it beats?

Why is the blood flow in arteries pulsating?
Arteries carry blood that is being pumped by the heart round the body. Therefore the pulsating is the result of the heart's contractions which push the blood round the body. The time in between the pulse beats is when the heart is refilling with blood. The pulse can be felt because the blood is under great pressure from the force of the heart contraction pushing the blood against the walls of the artery and stretching them a little.
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.
