You are riding with an ambulance crew called to the scene of motor vehicle accident caused by texting while driving. As the paramedics are loading one of the victims into the ambulance, you are asked to describe his most serious wounds to the emergency department so they can be prepared for his arrival. Describe the location of his wounds, indicated on Figure 1.20 by three X marks, using at least three correct regional and directional terms. A female patient presents to the emergency department complaining of pain in the right lower quadrant abdomen: List the organs and structures that could possibly be involved in causing her pain:

A young woman is brought to the emergency department by ambulance after a severe motor vehicle accident. She is unconscious. Her blood pressure is 64/40 mm Hg; heart rate is 150 bpm. She is intubated and is being hand-ventilated. There is no evidence of head trauma. The pupils are 2 mm and reactive. She withdraws to pain. Cardiac examination reveals no murmurs, gallops, or rubs. The lungs are clear to auscultation. The abdomen is tense, with decreased bowel sounds. The extremities are cool and clammy, with thready pulses. Despite aggressive blood and fluid resuscitation, the patient dies. Questions: A. What is the likely diagnosis? Why? B. What are the major pathophysiologic causes of this condition? Which was likely in this patient? C. What pathogenetic mechanism accounts for this patient's unresponsiveness? For the cool, pale extremities?
