Brief History of The Department of Physiology
• The teaching of Physiology in this college commenced on and from 01st August 2012 as a General subject in the Degree.The department came into existence as a result of the initiative and farsightedness of the then Principal of the college, Dr. Anup Sikdar.
• Further development of the Department materialized at the encouraging and patronizing attitude of respected Dr. Deb Kumar Mukherjee , Principal, Ramsaday College.

Programme Outcome
Physiology as a subject aims to deliver an in-depth scientific understanding of human body function in a harmonic and sequestrated milieu of the organ systems. Cardiovascular system, Nervous System, Respiratory system, Excretory system, Digestive system, Musculoskeletal system, Endocrine system play important roles in controlling our bodily functions. These systems form the core area of the subject, while Biological Statistics , Haematology , Work & Exercise Physiology and Ergonomics and Human nutrition and dietetics are taught as allied subjects that form the Discipline Specific Electives courses.All these help to nurture and develop a comprehensive understanding of Human Physiology. At the same time certain Skill Enhancement Courses like Microbiology & Immunology , Clinical Biochemistry , Detection of Food Additives / Adulterants & Xenobiotics and Community and Public Health aim to develop more specialized areas which involve Physiology of health and disease. A student of this course would be able to pursue career in academic spheres as well as attain capabilities of entrepreneurship to work in diversified research areas both in applied and basic fields.
