2. With chest pain and a deformed steering wheel, potential anatomic structures that could be injured include the ribs, sternum, heart, and lungs due to the impact. For the blood - flow question, the order of blood flow through the heart and lungs is: 1. Right atrium; 2. Right ventricle; 3. Pulmonary artery; 4. Lungs (pulmonary capillaries); 5. Pulmonary veins; 6. Left atrium; 7. Left ventricle; 8. Aorta; 9. Systemic circulation (not strictly part of heart and lungs but part of the overall cycle).

Answer:

1. Liver, Gall - bladder
2. Ribs, Sternum, Heart, Lungs
3. Right atrium
4. Right ventricle
5. Pulmonary artery
6. Lungs (pulmonary capillaries)
7. Pulmonary veins
8. Left atrium
9. Left ventricle
