Do we need to know specific muscles and bones

I am using EK Bio, but it doesn't have specific muscles or bones anywhere. We spent tons of time on this during bio class. I know that a lot of stuff in bio class isn't on the MCAT, but is this stuff? Thanks in advance.

nope, but make sure you know the basics of muscle physiology and the differences skeletal vs cardiac vs smooth.

You should check out the official AAMC topics list. If it's on the list - know it. If it ain't - don't worry about it.

You don't need that for the MCAT, I don't think. But you will for med school, so it wasn't a wasted effort, if you can still remember it by then.

In my bio classes we never went over any anatomy/physiology type stuff....more or less it was memorizing molecular organisms...so Id say you are good---dont make studying for the MCAT harder than it has to be!
