Excretory system & osmoregulation (2:40:10–3:03:30)
- Kidney anatomy (cortex/medulla/pyramids/calices/pelvis), nephron function (glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion), GFR and filtration numbers, counter‑current mechanism (loop of Henle + vasa recta), hormones controlling renal function (RAAS, ADH, ANF), urine concentration and types of nitrogenous wastes.
Nervous system & muscle contraction (3:03:30–3:37:40)
- Neuron types (uni/bi/multipolar), synapses (chemical/electrical), action potential phases (depolarization via Na+ influx, repolarization via K+ efflux, role of Na+/K+ pump), CNS/PNS divisions, brain regions and functions (cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, limbic), neuromuscular contraction (sliding filament model, role of Ca2+, troponin/tropomyosin, cross‑bridge cycling, sarcomere band changes).
Human reproduction & reproductive health (3:37:40–4:12:00)
- Male & female reproductive anatomy, gametogenesis (spermatogenesis vs oogenesis: meiotic timing, polar bodies), menstrual cycle (follicular/LH surge/ovulation/luteal phase/implantation), ART overview (AI, IVF, ICSI, GIFT, ZIFT), contraception (natural, barrier, hormonal pills, IUDs, sterilization), STIs (causes, preventions), prenatal diagnosis (amniocentesis) and MTP legal notes.
Evolution (4:12:00–4:40:00)
- Chemical evolution (Miller‑Urey basics), evidence for evolution (fossils, biogeography, comparative anatomy — homologous/analogous, embryology), mechanisms (natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, mutation), human evolution timeline (key hominins and cranial capacities), types of selection (directional/stabilizing/disruptive), adaptive radiation examples.
