1. the pass on each side of the trachea and return blood from the brain to the heart.
2. the pass on each side of the trachea and deliver oxygen to the brain.
3. a occurs when several ribs are fractured and the fractured portion shif as the athlete breathes.
4. a is the result of a collapsed lung putting pressure on the heart.
5. an injury, usually a puncture, which results in external air being drawn into the pleural cavit known as a
6. the exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.

section 3: short answer

Explanation:

1. Jugular veins carry de - oxygenated blood from the brain back to the heart and are located on either side of the trachea.
2. Carotid arteries supply oxygenated blood to the brain and are positioned on each side of the trachea.
3. Flail chest is characterized by multiple rib fractures where the fractured segment moves paradoxically during breathing.
4. Tension pneumothorax occurs when a collapsed lung (due to air accumulation) compresses the heart and other mediastinal structures.
5. A sucking chest wound (open pneumothorax) allows air to be drawn into the pleural cavity with each breath.
6. Alveoli are the tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) takes place.

Answer:

1. jugular veins
2. carotid arteries
3. flail chest
4. tension pneumothorax
5. sucking chest wound
6. alveoli
