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.

Do both the heart and the arteries contract to pump blood throughout the body?

The heart is the primary organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, contracting rhythmically to push blood into the arteries. While arteries themselves do not contract to pump blood, they do have muscular walls that can constrict or dilate to regulate blood flow and pressure. This coordinated action ensures efficient circulation, with the heart providing the force and the arteries adjusting the pathway for blood delivery.
