Physiology
Overview:

Located on the second floor of the college building, the Department of Physiology is well equipped with most modern and state of the art equipment required for the teaching of the undergraduate students. The dedicated faculty is always ready to help the students to make the subject interesting and more meaningful. Here in Physiology, the students learn about the normal functioning of all the systems of the body at gross as well as the cellular level. This knowledge about the basic functioning of the body helps the students to learn and understand the various disease processes occurring 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, physiographs which are used in the research by the faculty members and are also used to demonstrate various electrophysiological recordings to the students.

The department is being headed by
Dr. M.L. Suhalka
