The alternating expansion and contraction of artery walls caused by the contraction and relaxation of the ventricles?

This process is known as the pulse and is the result of the heart pumping blood into the arteries. As the heart contracts (systole), blood is pushed into the arteries causing them to expand. When the heart relaxes (diastole), the arteries recoil back to their original shape, creating a pulse that can be felt in different parts of the body.
