Department of Physiology

Human Physiology is the branch of medicine where the students learn about the normal functioning of all the systems of the body at gross as well as the cellular level. This knowledge helps the students to learn and understand the various disease processes occurring in the human body. Physiology hence becomes the soul of the clinical subjects. The students learn the basic clinical skills, hematological investigations, pulmonary and cardiac function tests, interpretation of ECG in Physiology before going to the clinical subjects. The department also boasts of having fully computerized 8 channel polyrite D, single and multi channel physiographs, computerized spirometer along with latest version of Neuroperfect, all of which are used in the research by the faculty members and are also to demonstrate various electrophysiological recordings to the students. The dedicated faculty is always ready to help the students to make the subject interesting and more meaningful.

Courses Offered
