|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
there is no obvious bleeding.

alteration of part of all of the brain's abilities to function without
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
actual physical damage to the brain.

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
cord that connect the motor and sensory nerves.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,Coup-Contrecoup Injury - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Dual impacting |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of the brain into the skull; coup injury occurs at the point of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
impact; Contrecoup injury occurs on the opposite side of impact,

which the patient's eyes are looking straight ahead and the head
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and torso are in line.

between two vertebrae.
|\ |\ |\
Intracerebral Hematoma - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Bleeding within |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the brain tissue (parenchyma) itself; also referred to as an

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of skull fractures; also referred to as nondisplaced skull fractures;
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
commonly occur in the temporal-parietal region of the skull; not
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
associated with deformities to the skull. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Meninges - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Three distinct layers of tissue
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that surround and protect the brain and the spinal cord within the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
skull and the spinal canal.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Open Head Injury - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Injury to the head
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
often caused by a penetrating object in which there may be
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
bleeding and exposed brain tissue. |\ |\ |\ |\
Primary (Direct) Injury - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔An injury to the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
brain and its associated structures that is a direct result of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
impact to the head. |\ |\ |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that may indicate a skull fracture.

remember events leading up to a head injury. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Secondary (Indirect) Injury - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The "after
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
effects" of the primary injury; includes abnormal processes such
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
as cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, cerebral
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ischemia and hypoxia, and infection; onset is often delayed
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
following the primary brain injury. |\ |\ |\ |\
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Bleeding into |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the subarachnoid space, where the cerebrospinal fluid circulates.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Subdural Hematoma - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔An accumulation of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
blood beneath the dura mater but outside the brain.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

dislocation.
