Question

Both the heart and arteries contract to pump blood throughout the body.

Answer 1

Well as detailed as this mans answer may be, most online school systems seem to believe the answer to this question to be true.

Answer 2

Is it true that the heart contracts and that as a result of this, the blood is pumped, but the second part of the statement, that the same is true of the arteries is not true- arteries are more passive, and they just allow the passage of blood.

So the entire statement is false.
