Department of Physiology, University of Kalyani was established in October, 2005. Two-years Master of Science (MSc.) course in Physiology started with a batch of 10 students from the academic session 2005 – 2006 and the first batch of MSc. students passed out in 2007. The Department of Physiology also offers Ph.D. programme in Physiology since 2007.
Definition of Physiology:
Physiology; from Greek words (physis), meaning “nature, origin”, and (-logia), meaning “study of”, is the scientific study of function in living systems. This includes how within organisms, organ systems, tissues, cells and bio-molecules carry out the chemical or physical functions that exist in a living system. Physiological investigations range from examining the molecular basis of life to understanding the integrative functions of biological systems and their responses to external and internal environments. Physiology enables information gained by molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, pharmacology, biophysics, biomathematics, and biochemistry to be described in an integrated manner that can be applied to human medicine. The study of human physiology dates back to at least 420 BC and the time of Hippocrates, also known as the father of medicine. The highest honour awarded in physiology is the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, awarded since 1901 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
