Points to remember for paper 1
Following are the course content for FCPS part-1 in Paediatrics in paper-1. The contents should be approached
which is relevant to Paediatrics discipline and not for surgical
or other true basic science discipline.
In the study of different parts/organs blood supply. lymphatic
drainage, structural relations are excluded (except in places
clearly mentioned in the content). However, nervous and
endocrine controls are retained.
Identification of viscera and body parts are excluded from the
examination
Cell biology : structural details of a cell with functional
implications, cell cycle, cell division and its anomalies.

Recommend meterials:
Basie Histology – Junqueira; Basic
Histology – Ross; Gray’s Anatomy

Developmental anatomy (general): Anatomical relevance of
the following physiological aspects- period of life, teratogenesis.
sensitive period of life, fetal circulation and changes at birth;
placental function, multiple pregnancy and general and
proportional growth and development of body features from birth
(as differentiated from adulthood) with onphasis
maturity.

Recommended meterials:
Embryology – Langman’s and Moore.

Developmental anatomy for pediatrics part 1:

development of important
parts and organs, specially the ynnas, vital prians and bones,
mechanism of developmental anomalies of different organs.

Recommended book:
Embryology – Langman’s and Moure’s

General anntomy (systemic approach to the body structures):

Basic ideas on tissues Osteology, histology, development and its anomalies, important
assification centers,
Angiology including lymphoid systein-circulation through special
organs like brain, heart, kidney, liver, spleen, gut and lumes
General plan of the lymphatic drainage, and important groups of
clinically important lymph nodes and there drainage region

Recommended book:
Basic Histology . Junqueira; Gray’s
Anatomy.

Topographie anatomy (including surface anatomy) :
General body features including secondary sex characteristics:
topographic anatomy of different parts and organs of a child
including the variation in a newborn (in practical examination
relevant topics will be assessed by using bones, viscera, model and
figures).

Recommended book: Gray’s Anatomy

Histology : Light, dissecting and electron microscopic features
and their functional implications of following structures • liver,
kidney, GI tract, pancreas, respiratory passages and alveoli,
endocrine glands, heart, blood vessel, muscles, lymphoid organs
(the learning objective of this chapter will be to learn the general
histology covering the functional principle of the basic tissue. In
practical examination these parts will be assessed using projected
photomicrograph and printed photographs).

Recommended materials:
Basic listology Junqueira: Basis
Histology.

Clinical Neuronnatomy: Central and peripheral nervous
system with special importance on the development and related
anomalies, anatomy of the common injury including birth injuries.
clinical neuroanatomy in relation to joint movement.

Recommended materials:
Snell and book of NHS series.
