15 Assorted questions on Muscular System.

It is a well noted trend that a lot of questions appearing for competitive medical exams are heavily drawn from very old NCERT textbooks as well as out-of-syllabus. This series of questions are prepared keeping in mind the extra portions and one-words that frequently come up for the A.I.P.M.T. Mains and for A.I.I.M.S. Examinations. I hope this helps you to get some additional useful information.
