Introduction

The Department of Physiology is among the premier departments in Government Medical College, Akola started with the inception of the institute.

Physiology provides the basis for understanding the functions of organ systems of human body and underlying mechanisms that provide the physiological basis of disease and treatment. Physiology isbeing taught as a major subject during first year in MBBS curriculum.

The rapid evolution in understanding the physiological sciences, has led to emphasize on learning the fundamental principles of various mechanisms and functions from cell to systems of the body in its clinical relevance.

Physiology as a subject in medical science has changed over the years from its non clinical to preclinical format with the incorporation of Applied and clinical Physiology.

Physiology offers a holistic concept of function, integration & dysfunction of body systems and Physiological basis of management and prevention of diseases.
