Complete Answers - MBBS Physiology Paper I (July 2026)
Q.1 - Answer the Following (20×1 = 20)
1) A 25-year-old female with decreased weight, sweating, tremor. BP 160/60, pulse 120, exophthalmos. Identify the condition:
✅ Answer: A - Graves' disease
- Classic triad of hyperthyroidism: weight loss, sweating, tremor + tachycardia + exophthalmos (Graves' specific) + wide pulse pressure (160/60).
2) 55-year-old male with polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia. Long-term control of blood sugar investigation:
✅ Answer: D - HbA1c
- HbA1c reflects average blood glucose over 2-3 months (glycated hemoglobin). Blood sugar fasting/random reflect immediate values only.
3) 45-year-old male with difficulty initiating movement, rigidity, resting tremor. Brain is involved:
✅ Answer: A - Substantia nigra
- This is Parkinson's disease. The substantia nigra (pars compacta) degenerates, causing loss of dopaminergic neurons.
4) 55-year-old post-menopausal woman for hormonal blood investigation. Finding seen:
✅ Answer: C - ↑ LH
- Post-menopause: ovarian failure → low estrogen → loss of negative feedback → elevated FSH and LH. LH is markedly elevated.
5) 75-year-old male: Rinne's test - bone conduction better than air conduction in right ear. Patient is suffering from:
✅ Answer: B - Right ear conductive deafness
- Rinne negative (BC > AC) = conductive hearing loss. The test was done on the right ear, so right ear conductive deafness.
6) 20-year-old female with Turner syndrome. Number of Barr bodies:
✅ Answer: A - Zero
- Turner syndrome: 45, XO (monosomy X). Barr bodies = number of X chromosomes - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0.
7) 25-year-old male at OPD with loss of pain, vibration, and position sense. Identify the condition:
✅ Answer: A - Syringomyelia
- Loss of all sensory modalities (pain, vibration, position) suggests posterior column + spinothalamic involvement. Syringomyelia affects the central cord and can produce this combination.
- (Note: if only pain/temperature lost with vibration preserved = classic syringomyelia cape distribution; if all lost = Tabes dorsalis is also a consideration. Given the options likely include Tabes dorsalis - answer may be B - Tabes dorsalis if vibration/position are the dominant loss)
8) 25-year-old male with fatigue, weakness, and diplopia. Identify the condition:
✅ Answer: A - Myasthenia gravis
- Fatigable muscle weakness + diplopia (ocular involvement) is the hallmark of Myasthenia gravis (anti-AChR antibodies).
9) 60-year-old male develops non-fluent speech after stroke. The lesion is most likely in:
✅ Answer: A - Broca's area
- Broca's area (inferior frontal gyrus, dominant hemisphere) - damage causes expressive/non-fluent aphasia. Patient understands but cannot speak fluently.
10) 45-year-old male in emergency with morning headache, excessive daytime sleepiness, frequent falls, difficulty maintaining posture while walking. Cerebellum part affected:
✅ Answer: A - Flocculonodular lobe
- The flocculonodular lobe (archicerebellum) controls equilibrium and gait. Lesions cause truncal ataxia, postural instability.
- (Note: Vermis also controls truncal balance - if vermis is an option, it's also correct. But flocculonodular lobe = balance/equilibrium primarily)
11) In pituitary adenoma, bitemporal hemianopia is seen. This is due to lesion on:
✅ Answer: B - Optic chiasma
- Pituitary tumors compress the optic chiasma from below, damaging decussating nasal fibers → bitemporal hemianopia.
12) 35-year-old female brought in emergency by husband - morning headache, excessive daytime sleepiness. Classify the condition:
✅ Answer: A - Narcolepsy (or Obstructive sleep apnea)
- Morning headache + excessive daytime sleepiness = Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) - nighttime hypoxia causes morning headache; daytime somnolence is classic.
- ✅ Answer: A - Obstructive sleep apnea
13) EEG recorded in a person solving a mathematical problem. Type of EEG wave recorded:
✅ Answer: B - Beta
- Beta waves (13-30 Hz) are recorded during active mental activity, concentration, and problem-solving.
14) In left dorsal column pathway lesion, sensation lost from left side below lesion:
✅ Answer: A - Pain
- Wait - Dorsal columns carry vibration, proprioception, fine touch (ipsilateral). A left dorsal column lesion causes loss of vibration/proprioception on the LEFT side below the lesion.
- ✅ Answer: D - Vibration (vibration and proprioception travel in dorsal columns ipsilaterally)
15) Aldosterone cramps is due to:
✅ Answer: D - Angiotensin II
- Aldosterone secretion is primarily stimulated by Angiotensin II (via RAAS). Also potassium and ACTH are minor stimulants.
- (If the question asks what aldosterone causes cramps through - it causes hypokalemia → muscle cramps. But if asking what stimulates aldosterone = Angiotensin II)
