Category G - Phenomena and Processes

Subheadings

The following subheadings are permitted with the MeSH headings in Category G:

/drug eff
/ethics*
/genetics
/immunol
/physiol
/rad eff

Not every subheading above is allowed for every term in Categories G. Check the "allowable qualifiers" information in the MeSH record for the term. Additional subheadings may be allowed with certain terms, such as PREGNANCY and its specifics.

*Avoid using the subheading /ethics with Category G terms: it rarely applies. Always check the allowable qualifiers for each MeSH Heading.
