Department of Physiology is entrusted to teach Medical Physiologyin 03 terms during first one and half year of MBBS course. The aim of teaching Physiology is to make medical cadets understand the normal functions of human body, the homeostatic mechanisms and also the physical and chemical factors that are responsible for origin, development and progression of life as the renowned Physiologist Professor Dr Arthur C. Guyton had uttered- “Physiology is indeed an explanation of life. What other subject matter is more fascinating, more exciting, more beautiful than the subject of life?”

Total allocation of teaching hours for the subject is 337 hours as per as the updated curriculum formulated for preclinical students of MBBS course. At the end of the course the medical cadets will be able to interpret the normal functions of different structures of human body and thus would be able to understand the physiological basis of wide range of diseases and accordingly would be able to apply the attained knowledge and skill to proceed to higher studies and research in the field of medical science.
