15.Semicolons - ANSWER ✔ Separate injury descriptors that are comparable
in severity.
16.Bold Type - ANSWER ✔ Identifies an anatomical structure
17.Italics - ANSWER ✔ Are used for proper-named anatomical structures or
injuries, and for OIS grades.
18.AIS .1 - ANSWER ✔ Minor

27.Facial Vessels - ANSWER ✔ External Carotid and it's branches (facial and
internal maxillary)
28.Facial Nerves - ANSWER ✔ Optic (intraorbital portion)
29.Supraorbital Ridge and Above - ANSWER ✔ Fractures of the upper third of
face
30.Nasal Bones & Septum, Maxillary Sinuses, Orbital Bones, Zygoma,
Zygomatic Arch, Maxilla, Alveloar Process & Maxillary Dentition -
ANSWER ✔ Fractures of middle third of face
31.Mandibular Dentition, Alveolar Process, Symphysis/Parasymphysis, Corpus
or Body, Angle, Ramus, Condyle & Coronoid Process - ANSWER ✔
Fractures of lower third of face
32.LeFort I Fracture - ANSWER ✔ (Tranverse, horizontal maxillary alveolar
fractures, Palate-facial disjunction (Guerin fracture)), occurs through the
lower maxilla into the nasal cavity including the maxiallary alveolar process,
portion of the maxillary sinus, the hard palate and the lower aspect of the
pterygoid plates. Fracture detaches the tooth-bearing portion from the rest of
the maxilla with one fracture line.
