Question

A young man has just received serious burns resulting from standing with his back too close to the bonfire. he is muttering that he never felt the pain; otherwise he would have smothered the flames by rolling on the ground. what part of his cns might be malfunctioning?

Answer 1

The appropriate response is Subarachnoid Space. It typically contains cerebrospinal liquid. A subarachnoid discharge is a seep into this space. The arachnoid is named for its fragile, bug catching network like fibers that stretch out from its undersurface through the cerebrospinal liquid in the subarachnoid space to the pia mater.
