Science Homework Help

For this discussion please choose one of the following discussion questions: describe an internal organ injury or sudden illness in a sport of your choosing.  There are examples of these injuries and illnesses in Chapters 7, 9, 10, and 11 of your textbook, but you are not limited to those–be creative and use an outside resource (note: there are other types of injuries in each of those chapters–make sure you choose one that affects an internal organ or is a sudden illness!).  Do NOT choose in injury that someone else has already chosen.  You must write your post on a unique injury. Put the name of the injury in your post title.   You must use an outside resource as support for your post; this can be a journal article, website, or other public video.

OR

Discuss an environmental condition that can cause the body harm. Please describe the signs, symptoms of how the body physiologically responds. What should you and should you NOT do?

1. Step 1: Please create a new message in which you can post your initial thread.  Put the sport and type of injury as the “title” at the top (for example, “cross country running anaphylactic shock” as the thread topic and title).  Use the library database or internet to find information about its MOI, underlying anatomy and resulting damage, signs/symptoms, first aid measures, playing status or return to play expectations, and prevention measures. Share this information with your classmates in an initial post of at least 250 words. Please also include citations within the post body and a reference list at the end.
2. Step 2: Read your classmates’ posts and reply to at least two of them on their initial post threads.  Your replies should be substantive and “improve” conversation.  These two peer replies must each be at least  100 words long.
3. Step 3: If the instructor asks you a question in your initial post thread, a thoughtful reply is expected (and part of your forum grade).  There is no word count expectation for these replies; the goal is to show reflection and application of the concepts being learned.

Instruction Summary: Each student must submit an initial post which is at least 250 words in length and includes at least one scholarly reference.
