| _____ injury is the damage done as a penetration object strikes tissue, contuses and tears that tissue, and pushes it out of the way. | Direct injury |
| Deceleration projectiles transmit the energy of motion forwards and outwards very quickly. Tissue in front of the bullet are pushed forward and to the side at great speed. | Pressure wave |
| ______ _____ is a space created behind a high-energy bullet as tissue moves rapidly away from a bullet's path. | Temporary cavity |
