Chapters 105–132 of GK Pal’s Physiology, the respiratory and nervous systems, laid out as a map. Every heading in those pages has a place here, rewritten short, with the numbers in tables and the diagrams you will be asked to draw.
How to use it. Open a chapter and read its topics in order. Each one starts with the whole idea in one breath, then the details, a diagram to practise and the skeleton of an exam answer. When you finish a chapter, take its quiz. The next quiz opens with the answers to the one before.
