Physiology

 About the Department

The department is located in the first floor of the college building. It has two lecture halls situated on the same floor, with a capacity of seating 100 students each. The department is well-designed with excellent infrastructure which includes well equipped laboratories for hematology, amphibian study, mammalian study, and for research. Each laboratory has capacity to accommodate 60 students. Department also has a demonstration room with seating capacity of 50 students and a departmental library containing 200 books. Power point presentations of lecture classes are made available for the students if required. Following instruments are available for the training of post graduate students.

  • Reaction Time (Visual, Auditory & Whole body reaction)
  • Cycle Ergometer
  • Computerized ECG + Cardiart 6208 – BPL Machine
  • Computerized Spirometer - Schiller
  • Treadmill
  • Computerized Instrument to record Heart Rate Variability
  • Loud Sound Stethoscope- manufactured locally in the department

Head of the Department

Dr. Nagalakshmi V,  Professor & HOD

Diagnostic Facilities

The physiology department has been a service department to the Department of Medicine and Department of Pulmonology who sends their patients for pulmonary functionary tests. In the future, the department will be attached to the hospital for carrying out autonomic functions tests for needy patients.

Teaching Programme: The Department has introduced a novel way of teaching for undergraduates in the form of pre-lecture questions. Students have to submit a brief write-up before the class. This will ensure that the students read the topic before attending the class and will have a rough idea. Written tests are conducted after the completion of every system. This helps students during their Internal Examinations as well as in University examinations. Micro seminar topics will be given to the students with teachers as moderators wherein each student gets an opportunity to present their assigned topic.

Each faculty is assigned as a mentor for a batch of 15-20 students, who will be in charge of their academic activities.
