Deceleration of occupant, which starts during sudden braking &
continues through the whole crash. 3) Deceleration of internal organs,
that consist of internal organs that continue forward momentum until
they're stopped by anatomical restraints. 4) Secondary collisions, which
occur when a vehicle occupant is hit by objects moving within the

propelled by blast force (struck by flying debris).
⩥ Tertiary Blast Injury Answer: Injuries due to body impact with another
object (when a person is hurled by the force against stationary objects).
⩥ Perfusion Answer: Circulation of blood within an organ or tissue in
adequate amounts to meet the cells needs.
⩥ Autonomic Nervous System Answer: Monitors the body's needs from
