Questions are grouped according to specialty area, followed by true/false answers that are all supported with concise explanations. The book can therefore be used for learning as well as practice.The book's most innovative feature is the set of 21 structed essay plans, covering the major topics of concern in this field.

There has been a marked change in examination strategy over the last five years; EMQs (extended matching questions) are popular with tutors and students alike as they present a more realistic view of a student's ability to apply his or her knowledge in a clinical situation.The new edition of MCQs in Physiology has been subject to a complete overhaul to become MCQs and EMQs in Physiology. This reflects the current methods of examination techniques and will provide the student with a complete revision resource book. Packed with MCQs and EMQs along with clear and simple explanations of each answer, this book covers all the main physiological systems. The questions stretch from basic to applied and interpretative and are written with the modern integrated syllabus firmly in mind. Presented alongside other core revision books such as EMQs in Clinical Medicine this book will soon be seen as a must-have for any medic's shelf.

Filling a gap for a pre-clinical phase revision guide, this book will help medics pass their intermediate exams in order to proceed to the clinical years.  It is based on the SAQs, EMQs and MCQ school curriculum as set out by the GMC. By covering each module individually but also integrating other disciplines of medicine into the questions, it helps students to think laterally as well as thoroughly revising each module. With a minimum of 4 SAQs, 7 MCQs and 3 EMQs in each chapter, this book offers comprehensive revision practice as well as providing all the answers with clear explanations.
