About Us Snaps
(A)  PHYSIOLOGY

i)  GOAL
The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in Physiology aims at providing the student comprehensive knowledge of the normal functions  of the organ systems of the body to facilitate an understanding of the physiological basis of  health and disease.

ii) OBJECTIVES 
a) KNOWLEDGE 
At the end of the course the student will be able to : 
(1) Explain the normal functioning of all the organ systems and their interactions for well coordinated total body function.
(2) Assess the relative contribution of each organ system to the maintenance of the milieu interior. 
(3) Elucidate  the physiological aspects of normal growth and development.
(4) Describe  the  physiological response and adaptations to environmental stresses. 
(5) List the physiological principles underlying pathogenesis and treatment of disease.
b)   SKILLS
At the end of the course the student should be able to : 
(1) Conduct experiments designed for  study  of  physiological phenomena. 
(2) Interpret experimental/investigative data.
(3) Distinguish between normal and abnormal data derived as a result  of tests which he/she has performed and observed in the laboratory.
c)  INTEGRATION 
At  the  end of the integrated teaching the  student should acquire an integrated knowledge of organ structure and  function and its regulatory mechanisms. 

(B)  BIOPHYSICS

(a)  GOAL & OBJECTIVES : The  broad  goal  of teaching  Biophysics  to  undergraduate students is that they should understand basic physical principles   involved in the functioning of body organs in normal and diseased conditions.

(b) Topic distribution
(1)  Lectures  :
(i) Physical principles of transport across cell memberanes and across capillary wall. 
ii) Biopotentials.
iii) Physical principles governing  flow of blood in  heart and blood vessels.  Also  physical  principles  governing flow  of  air  in  air passages. 
(2). Tutorial/group discussion: On the topic covered in didactic lectures.
