DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY INCLUDING BIOCHEMISTRY

The Department of Physiology and Biochemistry plays a vital role in medical education by providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the normal functioning of the human body and the biochemical processes essential for maintaining health. The department focuses on the physiological functions of various body systems, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, muscular, digestive, endocrine, and renal systems, along with the biochemical mechanisms that regulate cellular activities and metabolism.

The department adopts a combination of theoretical and practical teaching methods to ensure effective learning. Students gain knowledge through interactive lectures, laboratory experiments, practical demonstrations, clinical observations, and modern audiovisual teaching aids. Important areas of study include blood physiology, nerve and muscle functions, hormonal regulation, metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, enzyme activities, nutrition, and biochemical investigations.

The Department of Physiology and Biochemistry is committed to promoting academic excellence, strengthening practical competencies, and establishing a sound scientific foundation. Through systematic teaching and laboratory-based learning, the department prepares students for advanced medical studies, clinical diagnosis, disease management, and professional healthcare practice.
