Welcome to the Department of Physiology in SBDMM Govt. Medical College, Korba. Our Department is devoted to research, training & education and strives to push the boundaries of scientific discovery and academic development. The Department’s faculty, in conjunction with under graduate students and staff, use innovative tools to uncover physical and chemical mechanisms of biological processes. Our frontiers span the molecular to organ level, to determine how the human body functions in health and disease. Here at SBDMM Govt. Medical College, Korba we have an energetic and dedicated staff to guide the students in this very interesting subject of basic sciences
Introduction
Physiology and Biophysics is one of the premier basic science Departments. From earliest times, people have sought to understand the nature of life. We instinctively want to know how our body work, how we are born, how we grow and develop, and the nature of illness, what happens when we die. Physiology describes the nature of life. It is the subject that deals with the normal functioning and regulation of all the organ systems in the body. It provides the framework for studying and exploring the bases of life. Physiologists view life from the simplest to the most complex levels of organization - from the subcellular, to the whole person. Physiologists make an important contribution to areas such as heart disease, reproduction and ageing and global population control. Without the basic knowledge of Physiology, it is practically impossible to understand subjects like Pharmacology and Medicine
Goal
The broad goal of teaching physiology to undergraduate students, aims at providing the student comprehensive knowledge of the normal functions of the organ systems of the body and to facilitate an understanding of the physiological basis of health and diseases.
Infrastructure
The Department is well equipped with the latest facilities to train the undergraduate students. The Lecture theaters, Demonstration rooms and the Hematology & Human/Clinical Practical laboratories are well equipped with all the instruments and modern educational technology gadget as per the guidelines of National Medical Commission.
Educational Objectives
1) At the end of the course, the student will be able to describe the normal functions of all the organ systems, their regulatory mechanisms and interactions of the various systems for well-coordinated total body functions.
2) Understand the relative contribution of each organ system in the maintenance of the homeostasis (milieu interior).
3) Explain the physiological aspects of normal growth and development
4) Analyze the physiological responses and adaptation to environmental stresses
5) Comprehend the physiological principles underlying pathogenesis and treatment of disease.
6) Correlate knowledge of physiology of human reproductive system in relation to National Family Welfare Programs.
