Hello
Sorry I haven't written for a while. I guess my enthusiasm for blogging has been waning of late. Mainly because I don't receive any comments. :'( I haven't told anyone about my blog though and haven't promoted in online either, so I guess it's just due to my lethargy. Either that or nobody finds what I have to say interesting...yup, I know, that's probably it.
In that case, apologies once again.
Yours,
Moc

Medical answer?
Here's my answer to the question I posed last week:
Q: Which of the follwing circuits repesents the lowest resistance pathway and why?
a) cerebral circulation
b) coronary circulation
c) renal circulation
d) hepatic circluation
e) pulmonary circulation
I think the answer is e) because the pulmonary system:
Has many many parallel pathways (branching)
Is relatively short
Has low muscular tone
But my circulatory system physiology is terrible, and when I was discussing it with Shobhit yesterday we considered coronary as well. Any other ideas?

Medical quiz
A quick question for you, that's been bugging me for absolutely ages. I found it on a brilliant forum for students preparing for the USMLEs. I don't remember learning this in first-year physiology lectures. Help!
