As a branch of medicine, the Physiology department focuses on studying the human body's function and the regulation of different body systems. The Physiology Department at Sri Satya Sai University of Technology and Medical Sciences in Hosur has state-of-the-art labs, high-tech air-conditioned lecture theaters, demonstration rooms, and a team of qualified and experienced medical faculty and technical staff.
The primary emphasis of physiology is on organs and body systems, and the teaching for undergraduate students aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the integrated functions of organ systems. This knowledge is crucial for understanding the foundations of health and disease.
In terms of the knowledge domain, students acquire expertise in coordinated body functions, the contributions of each organ system to maintaining internal balance, normal growth and development, physiological responses and adaptations to environmental conditions, and the physiological principles underlying the pathogenesis and treatment of diseases.
In the skills domain, students develop the ability to conduct experiments designed to study physiological phenomena, interpret experimental and investigative data, and distinguish between normal and abnormal data observed in the laboratory.
Students have access to various labs, including hematology, amphibian, mammalian, and clinical labs. The department also offers opportunities for research in neurophysiology and respiratory physiology. An autonomic function lab facilitates diagnostic patient care.
Furthermore, the department has complete access to the cardiology and respiratory lab at the hospital.
