Why does arterial blood pressure vary over time? Arteries

Why does arterial blood pressure vary over time? Arteries have thicker vessel walls. Artery walls are elastic and can stretch and recoil due to contractions of the heart. Oxygenated blood has different mechanical properties. The pulse wave is the strongest closest to the ventricles of the heart.
