Book Description | وصف الكتاب

This second edition of “Endocrine Module – Questions” is meticulously crafted for undergraduate medical students, offering a wide-ranging collection of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Short Essay Questions (SEQs) that comprehensively cover the endocrine system from both basic science and clinical perspectives.

The book integrates questions across all key medical disciplines involved in the study of endocrine function and pathology:

• Anatomy (e.g., pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, and pineal body)

• Physiology (e.g., hypothalamic-pituitary axis, hormone secretion, feedback mechanisms, glucose regulation)

• Histology (e.g., microanatomy of endocrine glands, hormone-secreting cells, structural-functional relationships)

• Biochemistry (e.g., hormonal signaling pathways, metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, regulation of blood glucose)

• Pathology (e.g., hyper- and hypofunction of glands, neoplasms, diabetes mellitus, acromegaly, hypothyroidism, Graves’ disease)

• Pharmacology (e.g., anti-thyroid drugs, corticosteroids, insulin, hormone replacement therapy, bone metabolism agents)

• Clinical Integration (e.g., case-based endocrine disorders, hormone excess/deficiency syndromes, interpretation of lab profiles)

Each section is organized to simulate system-based learning and real-exam conditions, enabling students to apply their knowledge to clinical reasoning and OSPE-style scenarios.

• Includes both MCQs and Short Essay Questions formats
