Department of Physiology

 

Course Offered
Physiology is the science of normal functions and phenomena of living things. The attributes of life are growth, reproduction, repair and adaptation to varied conditions. The most important characteristic of living beings is that their processes are controlled. Much of Physiology is the study of control systems that operate in living beings. The goal of Physiology therefore is to explain the physical and chemical factors that are responsible for the origin, development and progression of life. The course highlights the relevance of basic physiology to clinical practice through use of clinical examples.

 

Course objectives
At the end of the course of Physiology, students will be able to:

·          Understand the normal functions of human body and utilize them as background for clinical studies.

·          Explain normal reactions environment and homeostatic mechanisms.

·          Interpret normal function with a view to differentiate from abnormal function.

·          Demonstrate knowledge and skill to proceed to higher studies and research in physiology in relation to needs and disease
    profile of the country.

·          Perform and interpret physiology laboratory tests and procedures.

·          Develop sound attitude towards the need for continuing self-education.
