As thebullet's energy dissipates intoflesh, its kinetic energy is transferred to the tissues. This causes
exit wounds that are much larger than entry wounds. - ✔✔Why is the exit wound of a bullet always
larger than the entrywound?
A.
As thebullet's energy dissipates intoflesh, its kinetic energy is transferred to the tissues. This causes
exit wounds that are much larger than entry wounds.
B.
As the bullet enters theskin, it flattensout, or"mushrooms," increasing its surface area.Thus, when it
exits thebody, it displaces more tissue than it did when it entered. This creates the larger exit
wounds.
C.
As the superheated metal of the bullet proceeds through theskin, it burns away all tissue that it
touches. The heat destruction radiates into a tubular shape along the trajectory of thebullet, causing
thebullet's exit to be larger than its entrance.
D.
When the bullet enters thedermis, it breaks into many small pieces that travel in different directions.
As these bullet pieces pass out of thebody, they destroy a wide path of tissue.
