Why is the blood flow in arteries pulsating?
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.

cappillaries
==============
The smallest veins in the body are the venules. Capillaries join venules and arterioles (the smallest arteries) together. Arteries carry the blood from the heart around the whole body; while veins carry the blood back to the heart. They are joined by the capillaries, where the most important actions happen.

This waste is sent to the veins where the heart pumps it back to the lungs to be exhaled with the breath.
