fm7Preface to the Third Edition
The warm response and great inspiration not only from the students of physiology around the country but also the publisher led me to bring this edition. In this edition, questions and answers are presented under “Must know zone”, “Good to know zone” and “Excellent to know zone” to suit the different levels of students and also different levels of courses as the requirement is not same for all the students of different courses.
I am greatly indebted for the constant encouragement and valuable suggestions from my wife, Mrs Dhriti Basak and son Sohom Basak.
I am grateful to Shri Jitendar P Vij (Group Chairman), Mr Ankit Vij (Managing Director) and Mr Tarun Duneja (Director-Publishing) of M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, New Delhi, India, for publishing this book.
I will be grateful if this book meets the demand of the students. I do regret for any typographical mistake, human errors, inaccuracies or ambiguities if any in this title. I will be very happy to receive any opinion, feedback and valuable suggestions from the teachers, senior colleagues and students for further improvement of this book.

fm9 Preface to the First Edition
While examining the MBBS and BDS students in their viva-voce examination, I have felt that even the good students hardly answer the questions very precisely and to the point. Though there are small number of viva books in physiology with us, these are not sufficient to meet the demand of the students so that they can answer A to Z of viva questions generally asked by the examiners. Moreover, it is never possible to the students to go through any textbook while going to face viva-voce examinations. These facts led me to write the book Viva in Medical Physiology. While writing this book, I have tried my best to include all types of viva questions dealt with basic, brainstorming, applied and clinical. Language of the book has also been kept easily understandable. I hope this book will serve the purpose for not only the BDS students but equally also the MBBS, MSc and BSc (Medical/Human Physiology), MD (Physiology) students and also other allied health subjects like physiotherapy, nursing, etc.
I am highly grateful to my students, colleagues and well-wishers of Avadh Institute of Dental Sciences (Lucknow); Universal College of Medical Sciences (Nepal) and also Nepalgunj Medical College (Nepal) for their encouragement and sincere suggestions for writing up of this book. I am also deeply indebted to Prof BN Koley and Dr (Mrs) J Koley (Calcutta University), Prof NK Mishra and Prof SN Pandeya (Nepalgunj Medical College), Prof V Reghunandanan and Dr (Mrs) R Reghunandanan (Universal College of Medical Sciences), Prof VK Negi (Harsaran Dass Institute of Dental Sciences, Gaziabad), Prof SK Saxena (Sikkim-Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences), Dr Rajuma Baudha (Avadh Institute of Dental Sciences) who always thought very good of mine. I am also highly grateful to my family members who always supported me in my academic pursuit.
I am really obliged to my wife, Mrs Dhriti Basak not only for editing the language of this book but also for her sacrifice whose time I usurped during the preparation of this book.
Finally, I also express my sincere gratitude to Shri Jitendar P Vij, Chairman and Managing Director, Tarun Duneja, Director Publishing and fm10other Staff of M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd. for publishing this book.
I will be grateful if this book meets the demand of the students. I will be very happy to receive opinions, comments and valuable suggestions from all my senior colleagues, fellow teachers and students so that every aspects of this book can be reviewed in succeeding editions.
