Practical and Viva

Detail

Assessed separately by your college, typically 100 marks combined

Long Answer Questions require a structured answer covering definition, classification, mechanism, and physiological or clinical correlation as relevant to the topic. Short Answer Questions test specific factual recall in a focused, single-paragraph answer. Check your college's official notification for the exact component-wise weightage in a given year, as internal assessment structures can vary slightly by college.


High-Yield Topics in KUHS Physiology

Physiology has strong topic repetition year on year. Commonly high-yield areas for 1st year Physiology at KUHS include:

  • Neuromuscular junction and mechanism of muscle contraction
  • Haemostasis and coagulation pathways
  • Cardiac cycle and regulation of blood pressure
  • Special senses, including vision, audition, taste, and smell
  • Renal counter-current mechanism and acid-base regulation
  • Reproductive physiology, including menarche, menopause, and pregnancy
  • Sensory pathways and mechanisms

Use PYQs from 2025, 2024, and 2023 as your primary revision dataset. A topic that appears across two or more of these years is worth prioritising as a likely long answer question; a topic that appears once is a reasonable short-note candidate. A detailed, paper-by-paper frequency analysis based on the actual KUHS papers above is available inside the GeckoMed app.


How to Use These Papers

  • Start paper practice at least eight weeks before your university exam, rather than waiting until you finish reading the textbook
  • Attempt the most recent year (2025) first to understand the current question pattern before moving to older papers
  • Write full answers under timed conditions rather than only reading model answers, since KUHS examiners mark structured written responses
  • Practice diagrams for the cardiac cycle, nephron, and sensory pathways, since these are frequently asked
  • Revise the same topic across multiple years so your answer covers everything examiners have asked, not just one year's version
