For MSc - Anatomy & Physiology I & II additional requirement

15 min Anatomy, 15 min Physiology - 2 topics per class. You are told your topics at the beginning. We noticed, usually 2 students going back to back get same topics, then new topics are given to the following 2 students.
During the exam, they give you a very broad topic and you just talk about it. They ask follow up questions while you talk. The time goes by a lot faster than you think and you only have time to cover parts of each topic (didn't seem to be a problem for them)

Anatomy
1. cartilage & bone (they like to give a question about tissues first so I would make sure to study all the tissue types well)
- how are they similar/different? what tissue type are these part of? what types of bone & cartilage are there? what is the functional unit of each? I was specifically asked about osteocytes and he wanted to know how they degrade bone (acid). what material is each one made out of
2. the heart
- explain 4 chambers & 4 valves, explain left side being thicker muscle & why, what is inner heart part cell layer?

Physiology (very broad questions and you should go in a direction you are comfortable with, they will keep asking in that direction)
1. How do you breathe?
- nose (explained cilia & mucus here to moisten & warm), alveoli gas exchange (know partial pressure definition and how this works), pressure gradient for dissolving gas, pleural cavity pressures for breathing
2. How do you walk?
- explain myosin + actin filament walk along theory, Ca2+ role, neural impulse (from which brain region) ends on motor end plate - depol, sarcoplasmic reticulum with T tubules, she specifically wanted to know about motor units (small vs large, where would you find which one and why)

MSc PharmaTox I + II (as additional requirement) - 30min oral exam

At the start, she will ask you if there is anything you enjoyed learned and would like to talk about first. Use that chance to have a topic prepared that you know well. Know mechanisms, example drugs, possibly some interactions, some side effects. I picked a topic that leads towards another topic that I was familiar with to steer her towards what I wanted to talk about. Be aware that anything you might mention, she might ask more about (e.g., mentioning antiemetics for chemotherapy: 5-HT3 Antag, NK1-R Antag, and Glucocorticoid - she then wanted me to explain how glucocorticoids work).

In general, she cares about you understanding and knowing the mechanisms more than she cares about you knowing drug examples (you have to know the drug classes though and how these act. It's totally fine if you cannot name a drug within a class, or at all).

She made me talk through just about most topic covered in PharmaTox I+II and she really seems to like hypertension and asthma. Make sure to mention the difference between beta 1 and beta 2 action and why drugs at these receptors need to be specific (tie it to astma - bronchodilate/constrict, and beta blockers).
With hypertension, she asked how it can be treated so I talked about each place where it can be treated (kidney - diuretics, heart - beta blockers, vessels - Ca2+ channel blockers, Renin system - ACE inhib, AT1R Blockers).
