Department of Physiology

Human Physiology is the department where the students learn about the normal functioning of all the systems of the body at gross as well as the cellular and molecular level. This knowledge helps the students to learn and understand the variation in the normalcy and basis of pathology, pharmacology and medicine. Physiology hence also called as mother of clinical subjects. It is the only branch of medicine which has received most of the NOBEL PRIZES. 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 single and multi channel digital physiographs, computerized spirometer, VEP, BERA, NCV, Autonomic function lab 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.
