Solution

The function that is NOT a part of the peripheral circulation is "pumping blood into the arteries." This is actually a function of the heart, not the peripheral circulation. The peripheral circulation is responsible for transporting hormones and components of the immune system, exchanging waste products and nutrients, carrying blood to the tissues, and directing blood flow to areas of increased need.
