🧠 FRCA Primary-style SBA questions on neurophysiology, ANS function, pain pathways, and anesthetic effects — based on Miller’s, Barash, Lange, and Berne & Levy. Designed for trainees and anesthetists preparing for the FRCA Primary Exam.
📘 What You’ll Learn
Understanding the nervous system is essential for safe anesthetic care and a major focus of the FRCA Primary Exam. This module offers Single Best Answer (SBA) questions covering the fundamental neurophysiology relevant to anesthetic practice — including synaptic transmission, pain pathways, autonomic regulation, and the effects of anesthetic agents on the central and peripheral nervous systems. Each question includes a targeted explanation to reinforce core concepts and exam-level application.
⚡ Neuronal action potentials and ion channel dynamics
🔄 Synaptic transmission and neurotransmitters
🧬 Sensory and motor pathways
💊 CNS and spinal cord responses to anesthetic drugs
🔥 Pain modulation and nociceptive processing
🧘 Autonomic nervous system (ANS) anatomy and function
💭 Consciousness, EEG, and anesthetic depth
✅ FRCA-style SBA questions with high-yield explanations
📘 Emphasis on physiological understanding over memorization
🧠 Designed to reflect the exam blueprint and clinical relevance
