25
name struct that connect dens to occip, can be torn when head is turned during rear end collision
alar/check ligs
26
2 reasons why scalp laceration more likely to lead to hypovolemic shock in a child vs adult
higher resting HR, lower BV, larger head to body ratio
27
if force reat enough to cause signif head trauma what should you also assume is present until proven otherwise
neck injury
28
what surrounds brain and sc in space bt arachnoid and pia
csf
29

dens fx
30
