Arteries always carry blood away from the heart, regardless of oxygen content. Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to lungs, while systemic arteries carry oxygenated blood to tissues.

The first-arriving unit must establish incident command, ensure scene safety, and request resources. Triage follows once command and structure are in place. Immediate transport (Option C) and CPR (Option D) occur later in the organized response.

The portal vein transports blood from the intestines to the liver for processing. Hepatic veins drain blood from the liver into the IVC. Pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood from lungs to heart. Jugular veins drain the head/neck. This portal circulation is key in metabolism and detoxification.
