The alternate expansion and relaxation of an artery in response to the contraction and relaxation of the heart is known as the pulse. When the heart contracts (systole), it pumps blood into the arteries, causing them to expand. During relaxation (diastole), the arteries recoil to maintain blood flow, resulting in a rhythmic pulse that can be felt in various parts of the body. This process is vital for maintaining blood circulation and ensuring that tissues receive adequate oxygen and nutrients.
An artery in the leg is called the "femoral artery."

Pulse.The alternate expansion and recoil of arteries create a pressure wave called pulse, that moves along the arteries with each heartbeat.Source: Biology of Humans. Goodenough.McGuire, 34rd Edition. page 222
This artery is called the Aorta. It is the largest artery in the body.
