Why is the pulse felt in the arteries and not in the veins?
The arteries are the vessels that lead from the heart. When the heart sqeezes (beats) the blood is forced out into the arteries causing an increase in pressure. This pressure increase is what you feel as the pulse. The blood must travel through the body, into the capillaries and into the veins. By the time the blood has traveled that distance, much of it's initial pressure has declined.

Are arteries often referred to as capacitance vessels?
No. Capacitance vessels refer to site where most volume of blood is found. Veins are capacitance vessels.
When assessing a pulse site what type of vessels is palpated in every scenarios?
When assessing a pulse site, arteries are palpated in every scenario. This is because pulses are the result of the rhythmic expansion and contraction of arterial walls as blood is pumped through them by the heart. Common pulse sites include the radial, carotid, and femoral arteries, where the pulse can be felt due to the proximity of these arteries to the skin's surface. Palpating veins generally does not provide a pulse sensation.
