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.
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.
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.

Mostly veins or tiny artery's. If you cut an artery you will have a pulsating bleeding
Blood flow is faster in arteries than in veins. Blood flow in veins is lower pressure.
Maintaining blood pressure.
white blood cells(wbc)
Clots may form in theses narrowed arteries and block blood flow high blood cholesterol levels can cause hardening of the arteries at a younger age.
