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.
What else can I help you with?
Does the blood flow in a pulsating manner or in a smooth fashion?
Blood flow is pulsatile, meaning that it moves in a rhythmic pattern due to the pumping action of the heart. This pulsatile flow is necessary to deliver oxygen and nutrients efficiently to all parts of the body.
A measure of the flow of blood in arteries is called?
Blood flows away from the heart and is measured as blood pressure. This is a measure of the passage or flow and the resistance of the flow in the arteries.
Does arteriols have valves and pulsate?
Arterioles do not have valves; valves are typically found in veins to prevent backflow of blood. Arterioles are small blood vessels that regulate blood flow and pressure by constricting or dilating. They do not pulsate like arteries, but the blood flow through them can still exhibit a steady rhythmic pressure due to the heart's pumping action. Instead of pulsating, arterioles maintain a continuous flow of blood.
Why is the blood in arteries pulsating?

When you injure ourselves where does the blood come from veins or arteries?
Mostly veins or tiny artery's. If you cut an artery you will have a pulsating bleeding
Is blood flow faster in veins?
Blood flow is faster in arteries than in veins. Blood flow in veins is lower pressure.
How do Larger arteries assist with blood flow by?
Maintaining blood pressure.
What kind of blood flow does arteries have?
white blood cells(wbc)
