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 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.
