ANATOMY

Only short notes are mentioned below. The new paper format does not have cases like previous
papers used to have, so I have not included case questions. MCQs aren’t repeated in Anat, so I
didn’t include them either.

NEURO
Very very important:
All sections of the brainstem. Diagrams and labellings are very important. Sure question. Most
commonly asked are notes on transverse section at the midbrain at the level of superior colliculus and
inferior colliculus. Also asked are at the level of sensory decussation and pyramidal decussation. To be
safe, study all.
