Overview
The Department of Physiology teaches how the body functions and how its systems keep it in balance: the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive, endocrine and reproductive systems. Taught in the integrated pre-clinical years of MBBS, physiology links the structure learned in anatomy to the disease processes studied in pathology and medicine.
