This second edition titled “Special Senses Module – Questions” is meticulously crafted for undergraduate medical students, providing an extensive collection of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Short Essay Questions (SEQs) covering all essential disciplines related to the special senses, including vision, hearing, balance, smell, and taste.

The book encompasses integrated questions from:

• Anatomy (e.g., orbit, extraocular muscles, lacrimal apparatus, middle and inner ear, auditory and visual pathways)
• Physiology (e.g., phototransduction, accommodation, hearing mechanism, balance and vestibular functions)
• Histology (e.g., layers of the retina, cochlea, vestibular structures)
• Biochemistry (e.g., visual cycle, vitamin A metabolism, rhodopsin chemistry)
• Pathology (e.g., glaucoma, cataract, retinopathy, otitis media, hearing loss)
• Pharmacology (e.g., miotics, mydriatics, antiglaucoma agents, ototoxic drugs)
• Microbiology (e.g., bacterial conjunctivitis, otitis externa, viral eye infections)

Each chapter is designed to enhance clinical reasoning, reinforce theoretical understanding, and prepare students for both university assessments and real-world medical problem solving.

The language of the questions simulates standard exam formats and often integrates clinical scenarios, helping students bridge basic medical sciences with clinical practice.
