V. Questions to Answer. Briefly answer the following questions.

1. The Chan family was travelling in their van and had a minor accident. The children in the back seat
were wearing lap belts but they still sustained bruises around the abdomen and had some internal
organ injuries. Why is this area more vulnerable to damage than others?
-Organs in the abdomen are poorly protected within the body since they are not covered or supported
by bones such as the skull, pelvis, or ribs. As a result, they are very vulnerable to injury when they
come into contact with destructive forces or acts. Sharp abdominal trauma, such as that experienced
in car accidents, can result in liver damage. Because it is close to the upper layer of the abdominal
wall, the liver is the largest and most exposed organ in the abdomen. Lap belts can cause injuries to
the abdomen, such as bowel laceration. Lap belt injuries are also known as lap belt syndrome, which
is linked to lumbar spine fractures and dislocations, as well as spinal cord injury. There is no skeletal
or bone protection on the front and lateral sides of the abdomen.

2. John, a patient at Aurora Memorial Hospital, is in tough shape. He has a hernia in his inguinal
region, pain form the infected kidney in his lumbar region, and severe bruises and swelling in his
pubic region. Explain where each of these regions is located.
-John has a hernia where his thigh connects to his trunk, lower back pain from an inflamed kidney,
and genital area.
