These are the questions I am doing for anatomy exam where the portion is upper limb, thorax, pelvis, and abdomen only. So which questions are important? And the ticked one are already done, so in which order should I do my other questions? And are there any question which I should add in my question bank, or is it enough? And some questions which I can remove from this question bank as I have less time to study?

Now I have a clear picture of your question list. Let me analyze everything carefully.

Your Anatomy Question Bank - Full Analysis

Already Done (Ticked) - 10 questions

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20

Remaining (Unticked) - 18 questions

1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28

Questions to REMOVE (Out of Syllabus)

Your exam is Upper Limb, Thorax, Pelvis, Abdomen only. These fall outside that scope:
#QuestionReason to Remove
22Internal Capsule of CerebellumNeuro/Head - not in your syllabus
25Classify white fibres & note on Corpus CallosumNeuro/Head - not in your syllabus
16Classify BonesGeneral anatomy - very basic, low exam yield for this syllabus
17Synovial jointsGeneral osteology - similarly low yield unless your prof specifically asked
Note: Q16 and Q17 could appear as short notes but are very generic. Skip if time is short.

Priority Order for Remaining Questions

Tier 1 - High Priority (Do These First)

These are classic exam questions that appear repeatedly in anatomy practicals and theory:
Priority#QuestionWhy Important
18Median NerveMost commonly asked nerve - injury levels, course, branches, CTS
29Ulnar NerveSecond most asked - claw hand, cubital tunnel
310Radial NerveSaturday night palsy, wrist drop - exam favorite
411Rotator CuffVery high yield - 4 muscles, attachments, injuries
51Shoulder JointClassic long question - type, relations, movements, dislocations
626Carpal Tunnel SyndromeApplied anatomy - almost always asked
728Diff bet large & small intestineStandard table question, easy marks
824Structures at Porta HepatisHigh yield liver question
915Left & Right Coronary ArteryVery commonly asked in thorax
1021Branches of Arch of AortaStandard thorax question

Tier 2 - Medium Priority (Do After Tier 1)

Priority#QuestionNote
117Axillary ArteryImportant but you've done Axilla - partial overlap
1223Openings of right & left atriumThorax - moderate yield
1327Movements of radioulnar jointShort note type

Tier 3 - Low Priority / Skip if Short on Time

#QuestionReason
16Classify BonesToo generic
17Synovial jointsGeneric osteology
22Internal Capsule of CerebellumOut of syllabus
25Corpus Callosum / white fibresOut of syllabus

Questions to ADD to Your Bank

Given your syllabus (Upper Limb + Thorax + Pelvis + Abdomen), these important topics are missing:
Upper Limb:
  • Anatomical snuff box
  • Blood supply of scaphoid (applied importance)
  • Flexor retinaculum (links to CTS you already have)
  • Long head of biceps - course and clinical importance
Thorax:
  • Intercostal nerve / space
  • Mediastinum (you have superior - add inferior or overall classification)
  • Pleura and pleural recesses
  • Conducting system of heart (SA node, AV node - very commonly asked)
Abdomen:
  • Inguinal canal (extremely high yield - boundaries, contents, hernias)
  • Portal vein - formation, tributaries
  • Peritoneum and its folds (mesenteries, omenta)
  • Ileocaecal junction / appendix position
Pelvis:
  • Pelvic floor muscles (levator ani)
  • Ureter - course and relations (classic applied question)
  • Broad ligament contents

Suggested Study Order (Final Optimized)

  1. Median Nerve (8)
  2. Ulnar Nerve (9)
  3. Radial Nerve (10)
  4. Rotator Cuff (11)
  5. Shoulder Joint (1)
  6. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (26)
  7. Left & Right Coronary Artery (15)
  8. Branches of Arch of Aorta (21)
  9. Porta Hepatis structures (24)
  10. Diff: Large vs Small Intestine (28)
  11. Axillary Artery (7)
  12. Openings of atria (23)
  13. Movements of radioulnar joint (27)
  14. Skip 16, 17, 22, 25
Good luck with your exam! The three nerves (median, ulnar, radial) are almost always guaranteed questions in upper limb anatomy - do not skip those.
