Injury is damage or harm caused to the structure or function of the body caused by an outside agent or force, which may be physical or chemical. Injury may also refer to injured feelings or reputation rather than injuries to the body.
Some types of injury
- Burns are injuries caused by excess heat or sometimes cold (frostbite).
- Fractures are injuries to bones.
- Wound: cuts and grazes are injuries to the skin, that can cause bleeding (i.e. a laceration).
- A bruise is a haemorrhage under the skin caused by contusion.
- Damage to a person's sense of self-worth can be considered an emotional injury. An example is harm to one's perception of her or his gender resulting from sexual harassment.
