Physiology & Biochemistry
Physiology
The goal of teaching Physiology to undergraduate students is aimed at giving the student comprehensive knowledge of the normal functions of the organ systems of the body to facilitate comprehension of the physiological basis of health and disease. Student shall be able to explain the physiological aspects of normal growth and development and its response and adaptations to environmental stresses. In brief, Physiology gives an integrated knowledge of organ structure and function and regulatory mechanisms.
Biochemistry
Biochemistry makes the students to understand the scientific basis of the life processes at the molecular level and to orient them towards the application of the knowledge in solving clinical problems. The subject trains to elucidate the molecular and functional organization of a cell; the fundamental aspects of enzymology; digestion and assimilation of nutrients and consequences of malnutrition; familiarize with principles of various laboratory investigations, instrumentation analysis. In brief, biochemistry will help to integrate molecular events with the structure and function of the human body in health and disease.
