No, only the heart pumps blood. The pulse you feel in the arteries is the blood that gets pumped around by the heart.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
Aside from the pulmonary and umbilical arteries, arteries carry oxygenated blood.

The right atrium collects deoxygenated (poor in oxygen, rich in Co2) blood. The left atrium collects oxygenated (oxygen rich) blood and pushes it towards the periphery through the arterial network of the vascular system.

How does your heart pump blood?

What role do arteries and veins play in the excretory system?
Veins and arteries are in the circulatory system. Therefore that means they have something to do with pumping blood to cells around the body. So I would say that the role the arteries play in the body is that it carries blood to and from the heart to other parts of the body
Why don't veins have to be as strong as arteries?
They don't need to be as strong as the arteries because as blood is returned to the heart, it is under less pressure. Blood in arteries is under intense pressure from the heart, which is a pump.

What is the function of haemoglobin arteries?
the function of the haemoglobin arteries is to pump di-oxygenated blood from the heat to the lungs so you can breathe
What do pulminary arteries pump blood to?

Flow of blood from small intestine to right atrium of heart?
arteries dont lead the blood to the heart to pump the blood veins do!
How do blood cells travel?
