Physiology

This is my own coursework for the Physiology summative coursework, which experimentally sees the effect of moving from a supine to a standing position on the mean arterial blood pressure.

This practice paper includes useful MCQs for both physiology and anatomy modules. It contains both questions and answers with 2 sections.

This is a practice paper (MCQ) for the main exam from the year 2022. It contains questions for every lesson and provides effective revision. It contains 2 sections with 45 questions in total.

This 2015 paper does not have the same format as the current (2023) physiology exam paper. This paper includes MCQs for both physiology and anatomy module, as well as a written section which provides more effective revision for both modules.

Explanation of the main functions of respiratory system and how does it work. What are the defence mechanisms against microbes? The main gas laws and what do they show - tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, residual volume, inspiratory capacity, vital capacity, functional residual capacity. How does ventilation occur? Explanation of gas exchange in alveoli and upper airways, oxygen transport, role of haemoglobin.

This is brief yet impressive introduction to physiology course of medicine. Important definitions and terms can be found about transport across membranes and feedback mechanisms with their relation to homeostasis

These notes would be ideal for an undergraduate student in biological sciences, specifically but not limited to physiology. The questions are divided into 11 different lectures. The mark scheme will also be made available in www.stuvia.co.uk and search for Comparative physiology Answers. This would be a great resource for a student to test what they learnt before an exam since the questions vary in difficulty and are laid out in an easy to follow layout.
