💊 Pharmacology

Goodman & Gilman's
Katzung's Basic and Clinical Pharmacology

You can pick one or multiple — for example: "Use Murray & Nadel and Robbins" or "Just Harrison's." Which would you like?

I will give you my reference source of anatomy

Go ahead — which anatomy source would you like to use? The available anatomy textbooks in the library are:

Gray's Anatomy for Students
Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy
General Anatomy and Musculoskeletal System (THIEME Atlas)
Color Atlas of Human Anatomy Vol 1 (Musculoskeletal)
Color Atlas of Human Anatomy Vol 2 (Internal Organs)
Color Atlas of Human Anatomy Vol 3 (Nervous System)
Color Atlas of Ultrasound Anatomy
Imaging Anatomy (Bones, Joints, Vessels and Nerves)

Or if you have an external source (a PDF, a website, or another book not in the library), you can share it and I'll use that instead.

Which one would you like?

For anatomy 1.BDC for gross 2.yogesh sontakke for embryo and histo 3. Grays atlas , For biochemistry satyanarayana and pankaja naik, For physiology guyton and gk pal use these references for Q i will ask you for 1 st year you can save these sources for my future reference

Got it! I've noted your preferred references for 1st year MBBS questions:

📚 Your Reference Sources (1st Year MBBS)

Subject	Source
Gross Anatomy	B.D. Chaurasia (BDC)
Embryology & Histology	Yogesh Sontakke
Anatomy Atlas	Gray's Atlas
Biochemistry	Satyanarayana & Pankaja Naik
Physiology	Guyton & Hall + G.K. Pal

A few things to keep in mind:

BDC, Yogesh Sontakke, Satyanarayana, and G.K. Pal are not in my textbook library, so I'll answer from my knowledge of those books' content and style, and cross-reference with the closest available library sources (e.g., Gray's Anatomy for Students, Guyton & Hall, Harper's Biochemistry) to ensure accuracy.
Gray's Atlas and Guyton & Hall are available directly in my library — I'll pull content from those.
I'll always cite the source you specified (e.g., "BDC Vol 1, p. XX" style) alongside any library-matched content.

Whenever you're ready, just ask your 1st year question and I'll answer using these references! 🎓
