Four<unk>  factors determine the severity of the damage caused by<unk> s: voltage, current, resistance, and frequency. The severity of the burn also depends on the pathway the current takes through the body.. Generally, the pathway of the current will follow the course of the least resistant tissues: firstly blood vessels, nerves, and muscle, then skin, tendon, fat, and bone. Most commonly, electric injuries primarily damage the outer limbs, but more critical portions of the body may be affected as well causing severe complications. As the body comes into contact with an<unk>  source, it becomes part of the<unk>  circuit. As such, the current has a point of entry and an exit at two different points on the body. The point of entry tends to be depressed and leathery whereas the exit wound is typically more extensive and explosive. It is hard to accurately diagnose an<unk>  because only the entry and exit wounds are visible and the internal damage is not..
