Topic-Wise Weight Age for AIAPGET exams

1. General Physiology

• In Physiology section important section is General Physiology. Since individual system physiology is also covered in medicine but General Physiology is not.
• Aspirants must emphasise on topics like cellular basics like Diffusion and transport mechanisms etc under General Physiology

2. Nerve- Muscle Physiology

• Most important topic in Physiology  is Nerve Muscle Physiology.
• At least one question is asked from topics like the generation of Action Potential and Types of fibres under Nerve Muscle Physiology
• Do not confuse Nerve muscle physiology with entire neuro physiology. You do not need to study the entire neuro physiology.
• Generation of action potentials, gamma fibres, alpha fibres, muscle spindle physiology are all very important topics.
• Under Muscle spindle physiology you must not miss out on basic anatomical constituents and innervation.
• Knee jerk, withdrawal reflex, reciprocal inhibition, size principal, plasticity of muscle fibres are all very important.

For Reason Assertion MCQ make your concepts strong

• Topics like α-γ co- activation fibres, working of static fibres and dynamic fibres, Rheobase, Chronnaxiae and mechanism by which heat generation takes place, etc must be thoroughly prepared.

3. Exercise Physiology

• Experts highlighted that Exercise Physiology also carries high weight age . This is a topic that most people tend to miss.

4. Other important topics in Neuro Physiology are Memory, Learning and Speech

• Under Sleep Study, questions have been asked from EEG since the last 4 years consecutively
• Aspirants need to know how to compare EOG, EMG and EEG for normal awake state, deep sleep and REM sleep.

5. CVS

• Conduction Physiology, Cardiac Cycle

6. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

• Hypoxia, Spirometry, Oxygen Dissociation Curve, Altitude Physiology 

7. RENAL 

• Nephron Physiology

8. ENDOCRINE

• Hormones , Reproductive Physiology
