Physiology is one of the branches of medicine that deals with study of functions of human body and the regulation of different organ system. Physiology describes nature of life. It provides the framework of studying and exploring the bases of life. The goal of teaching Medical Physiology to undergraduate students is to provide a comprehensive knowledge of the integrated functions of the organ systems, which in turn helps assimilating and understanding the basis of health and disease. Human physiology is closely related to Anatomy & Biochemistry in that Anatomy is the study of form, and Physiology is the study of body function, whereas Biochemistry is the study of body functions at molecular level. The study of Physiology integrates knowledge across many levels, including biochemistry, cell physiology, organ systems and body as a whole. As a discipline, it connects science, medicine & health and creates a framework for understanding how human body adapts to stresses, physical activity and disease.
Department of Physiology is having well equipped Hematology, Clinical Physiology laboratories. One demonstration room is available with audio visual aids for practical demonstrations and tutorials of the students. The Department of Physiology also has an excellent library with latest editions of textbooks as well as reference books.
