| sudden, severe compression of the chest; results in hemorrhage into the sclera of the eye | traumatic asphyxia |
| blood collects in pericardium, fluid leaks in and pushes down on heart decrease in difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure (pulse pressure)- diastolic will raise, systolic will dive, jugular vein distention | pericardial tamponade |

| body's ability to move air in and out of chest and lung tissue | ventilations |
| loose ability to breath entirely | injuries to C3 and above |
| lose power to move intercostal muscles, but diaphragm will still contract | injury below C5 |
| 31 pairs of spinal nerves, 12 pairs of cranial nerves | two parts of the peripheral nervous system |
| increased bp, decreased pulse rate, irregular respirations- triad of signs indicate increased cranial pressure; cerebral edema | cushings reflex |
