The statement is false, since the heart contracts to pump blood through the body, but the arteries do not.

Explanation:

The heart is the main organ of the cardiovascular system, responsible for pumping blood throughout the body through ventricular contraction. The pumped blood is carried through the arteries to its destination.

The arteries do not have the capacity to contract, and the pulse waves seen in them are the product of the same ventricular contraction during systole.

For that reason the statement "both the heart and arteries contract to pump blood throughout the body" is false.
