Injuries have a major impact on the body. Select an example of a common injury, research it, and then discuss the areas of the body that would be impacted. Include terms such as directional terms, cavities, and/or planes. Provide some theories and arguments for ways that this injury might impact aspects of a person's life outside of the initial anatomical issues.
