The blood vessel that has a pulse is an artery. Veins do not have enough blood pressure to register a pulse.
Under the skin of your wrist is the radial artery. This artery is the main blood vessel of your whole forearm, which makes it an easy place to find and feel your pulse.
Increased pulse rate means faster blood, and when blood goes from a vessel with a larger diameter to a smaller ones such as capilaries, it naturally speeds up. It would speed up more and depending on the vessel's wall resistance, might rupture the capilary.
A thrombus may, or may not, block the flow of blood in a vessel.
The strongest and largest blood vessel is aorta. It arise from the left ventricle of the heart.
Pulse pressure can be calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. For example, if someone's systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg and their diastolic blood pressure is 80 mmHg, their pulse pressure would be 40 mmHg (120 - 80).

The radial pulse is checked for vital signs.
If you press too hard, you'll pinch the blood vessel shut and cut off the blood flow. And without blood flow there'll be no pulse there to count.
In the wrist, it is a deoxygenated
Blood vessels that are larger can be felt, like arteries and veins, though it is easier to feel arteries because they have a pulse.
It is the artery that runs from the Aorta behind the collar bone. It supplies blood to the arms.

A pulse in a person's arteries is felt as a wave of high pressure blood comes coursing through the vessel immediately after a heart beat. More specifically, the arterial pulse is felt as the jump in blood pressure from the diastolic pressure up to the systolic pressure. A person who has a narrow pulse width; for example 110/100 will likely have a weaker palpable pulse compared to a person with similar physique and a wider pulse pressure like 140/80.
