If you are after SPM, you still have to go thru your pre-university exams and secure a place in a med skol.

STPM or A levels, I dont think JPA has such a scheme unless you secure one in the Ivy league. Even that is subjective.

Anyway, good luck to you.

good luck and all the best for ur interview

Need some help here.

Anybody knows why adding large amounts of potassium(50mM) to smooth muscle organs (uterus, stomach, bladder) results in a large contraction?

I guess if you give directly large amount of K+ to the smooth muscle may help the muscle to get depolarized faster...and result in "large contraction"....I guess this will lead to muscle spasm to your smooth muscle organs?!

from what i've researched, huge influx of potassium will cause the sarcolemma to depolarise faster. So Ca2+ concentration will increase in the cytosole?

and then its the cross bridge cycle?

Yup. The key is depolarize faster due to influx of large amount k ions into the sarcolemma. The potential will reach threshold faster and action potential will be generated in higher frequency therefore continuos contraction will be achieved.ca cycle is for cross bridging for contraction. That's why i guess muscle spasm may occur. Correct me if im wrong.

i guess that should be it. thanks!!

Is any1 there hv applied for MBBS in Mahsa Uni College?

any1 wan sell moore's anatomy 6th edition??pls pm me!!!thx!!!

Hey there , any good anatomy book for recommendation? im using Netter for now. Has anyone heard about chaurasia anatomy?

And do you know where can i purchase skull back in malaysia? i need it to refresh my memory. The skull has tons of names.

Thanks in advance

Are you look for skull anatomical models or digital scanned pictures?

Anatomical models would be better

I used netters and b.d chaurassia during my first year. Used to come in 3 volumes. Not to sure about now though.

i use moore + gilroy(atlas). love gilroys pictures. =) netter is kinda messy for me.

regarding above, i've used chaurasia before and i think it's quite good...really simple to understand and made revising a breeze! especially the clinical references...

i was wondering also if anyone has done their clinical attachments?? mind sharing your experiences please...much much appreciated...

Okay i was told that mmc has approved us (foreign studying) students to do our practicals back home? How does the procedure go about?

As in what? Housemanship? everyone does that.

But if you are referring to practicals prior to graduating... then yes.

Here is an example:

Nop , im not speaking about housemanship. Practicals prior to graduating. Like last time people from indon/russia did their practical lessons during their break back at malaysia and a few years later MMC said that one should do their practical lesson at the place where he/she is studying right? So yeah today our president said that its official that we get to do our practicals back at home. Thats what i meant

totally! sometimes the arrows and stuff are too small and too many, and certain things like limbs look a little exaggerated even though it's to show surface markings.

Okay i just saw this. They are saying that as of April 12 if anyone desires to enter med school must have a minimum of 5B in spm ( add math chem bio phy and math ) 3.0 > in foundation and so on right.

So for those who joined med school before april 12 goes by the old ruling of 5credits , 3.0 and recognized uni?

And i got a friend which is leaving to indon soon. Sometime aug (which is after april 12) and he doesnt have the 5b's , but he'd get into a recognized uni by msia. Upon graduating , can he work back home ? he has a recognized degree , or will they still look at his spm even tho he is a doctor that has graduated by their listing. hmm irony much
