• arteries carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body
• veins carry blood back to the heart

• platelets - initiate the blood-clotting process
scene size-up - ANS • scene safety
• mechanism of injury or nature of illness
• number of victims
• need for additional rescuers or special equipment
