Question

why you can feel your pulse in an artery, but not in vein
​

Answer 1

Answer:

You measure blood pressure over arteries and not over veins because the thicker, muscular walls of arteries help to push blood through the circulatory system as it moves away from the heart. Veins carrying blood returning to the heart are thin-walled, and do not pulse.

Answer 2

When the heart pushes blood into the aorta, the blood's impact on the elastic walls creates a pressure wave that continues along the arteries. This impact is the pulse. All arteries have a pulse, but it is most easily felt at points where the vessel approaches the surface of the body.

The most common artery used for measuring pulse is radial artery.
