SHORT ANSWER
31.A Football player takes a hard hit to the head and falls to the ground. He is unconscious for about 1 minute. As he regains consciousness, he complains of pain in his head, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and demonstrates some loss of coordination. He is having great difficulty remembering what happened prior to the injury. There is no numbness or tingling in his arms and legs. What specific injury may have happened? What is the appropriate management and return to play criteria for this athlete?
32.Describe 3 different reflexes resulting from the contraction of a muscle when it is suddenly stretched:
1.
2.
3.
33.Give an example of a reflex which is the removal of a body part from a painful stimulus:

SHORT ANSWER
31.A Football player takes a hard hit to the head and falls to the ground. He is unconscious for about 1 minute. As he regains consciousness, he complains of pain in his head, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and demonstrates some loss of coordination. He is having great difficulty remembering what happened prior to the injury. There is no numbness or tingling in his arms and legs. What specific injury may have happened? What is the appropriate management and return to play criteria for this athlete?
• Second degree concussion
• Athlete should be removed from activity that day. He must be headache-free for 24 hours and be monitored and cleared by a physician (because of his loss of consciousness) before returning to activity.
32.Describe 3 different reflexes resulting from the contraction of a muscle when it is suddenly stretched:
• Biceps reflex – Flexes elbow
• Triceps reflex – Extends elbow
• Patellar reflex – Extends the knee
• Achilles reflex – Plantar flexes the ankle
• Babinski reflex – Dorsiflexes the ankle and fans toes
33.Give an example of a reflex which is the removal of a body part from a painful stimulus:
• Touching a hot stove and immediately pulling the hand away
34.What are the functions of Cerebrospinal Fluid? Where is it found?
• Lies in the space between the arachnoid and pia mater layers.
• Functions to act as a cushion for the brain and the spinal cord.
