(a) Ruptures of the spleen in group I, with 2-3 small wounds in the spleen indicated; (b) multiple wounds of the spleen in group II in which the wounds were more wider and deeper than those of group I; (c) there was no obvious damage to the lung of the pigs in group I after the impact; (d) diffuse hemorrhage of the lung of the pig in group II, in which the lamellar hemorrhage was observed.
