Anatomy for NEET PG 2026

• Days 1–14: Upper limb nerves. Read one nerve per day (Radial → Median → Ulnar), draw the course diagram from memory, then solve 15–20 NEETPGAI questions on that nerve the same evening.
• Days 15–21: Brachial Plexus roots, trunks, divisions, cords, branches — memorise using the mnemonic "Robert Taylor Drinks Cold Beer" for roots C5–T1. Practise lesion localisation questions (Erb's palsy C5–C6, Klumpke's C8–T1).
• Days 22–28: Rotator Cuff (SITS — Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor, Subscapularis), Shoulder Joint, Hip Joint, Knee Joint. For each joint, note the nerve supply, artery at risk in dislocation, and common surgical approach.
• Days 29–35: Femoral Triangle (boundaries: inguinal ligament superiorly, sartorius laterally, adductor longus medially; contents: femoral nerve, artery, vein, lymphatics — lateral to medial: NAVY). Sciatic nerve and its division at the lower border of piriformis.
• Days 36–42: Cranial nerves. Trigeminal (CN V) — three divisions, Meckel's cave, trigeminal neuralgia at the ganglion. Facial nerve (CN VII) — course through internal acoustic meatus, facial canal, parotid gland; branches (temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular, cervical).
• Weekly: Every Sunday, do a 30-question mixed Anatomy mock on NEETPGAI. Review every wrong answer against the BD Chaurasia page reference before Monday.

Mistakes to avoid

• Do not memorise muscle attachments without linking them to a nerve or a clinical sign — NEET PG 2026 will not ask "origin of flexor digitorum superficialis" in isolation.
• Do not skip the "applied anatomy" boxes in BD Chaurasia — these are the direct source of clinical vignette stems.
• Do not confuse the course of the radial nerve (winds around the posterior aspect of the humerus in the spiral groove — injured in mid-shaft humeral fractures causing wrist drop) with the axillary nerve (winds around the surgical neck — injured in shoulder dislocation causing loss of deltoid and regimental badge area anaesthesia).

Revision rhythm

• First revision at Day 45: flashcard-based, 20 minutes per system.
• Second revision at Day 75: NEETPGAI spaced-repetition queue only — no re-reading textbooks.
• Final revision in the 10 days before the exam: nerve lesion tables + joint nerve supply tables only. At this stage, 713 approved questions on NEETPGAI give you enough drill volume to consolidate pattern recognition without opening a single new chapter.
