What you feel on your wrist or deep in your neck with your fingers is the cyclic spurting of blood within an artery of your body. The heart pumps in a pulsatile manner, ejecting a few ounces of blood in about four tenths of a second. That squirt is propagated throughout your arterial system and you feel it in your extremities.

The pulse is the number of heartbeats per minute.
