The scalp bleeds a lot when it is cut, and when the skull is cracked or penetrated, pieces of it can get lodged in the brain. Because the brain is such a complicated tangle of tissue, it's extremely tricky to remove objects lodged inside a brain.

During a closed head injury, the brain may slam against one portion of the skull, then bounce against the opposite side of the wall.

Axons are the hairlike extensions of nerve cells that transmit messages, so in a diffuse axonal injury, the messages either get mixed up, or they don't come through at all.
