What parts of the cardiovascular system are involved in the pumping and circulating of blood?

The heart pumps blood, while arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back toward it. Together, these parts pump and circulate blood through the body. Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs, so they are part of the respiratory system, not the cardiovascular system.
