Coordination and Control

Coordination and Control is a Biology chapter on the official PMDC MDCAT 2026 syllabus, contributing roughly 6 MCQs to the 81-MCQ Biology section. Mastering the core concepts below typically secures the full chapter weightage.

Key Concepts

• Neurons & nerve impulse
• Synapse & neurotransmitters
• CNS vs PNS
• Endocrine glands & hormones
• Plant hormones (auxins, gibberellins)

How Coordination and Control Is Tested

MDCAT questions on Coordination and Control are a mix of recall (definitions, classifications), application (predict outcomes, interpret diagrams), and basic numerical/analytical reasoning. PMDC papers from 2020–2025 emphasized the concepts above; older UHS papers (2008–2019) tested them too, with slight variations in question framing.
