Locomotion and Movement — NEET/JEE Questions, Notes & Weightage
Class 11 Human Physiology NEET weightage: High 3,464 questions
Covers the muscular system (sliding filament theory, muscle types), the skeletal system, joints, and disorders like myasthenia gravis and arthritis. The sliding filament theory and the structure of a sarcomere are the most exam-critical concepts here.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most important mechanism in this chapter?
The sliding filament theory of muscle contraction — the roles of actin, myosin, troponin, tropomyosin, calcium ions, and ATP in the cross-bridge cycle are tested in detail almost every year.
How many bones does NEET expect me to know exactly?
The total bone count (206) and the number of bones in specific regions (e.g. vertebral column = 26, cranial bones = 8) are commonly asked as direct-recall facts.
Are joint types tested?
Yes — matching joint types (ball-and-socket, hinge, pivot, gliding, saddle) to real examples in the body is a recurring question style.
