Human Physiology and Biochemistry are essential pillars of medical science that explain how the human body functions at both systemic and molecular levels. While physiology deals with the normal functioning of organs and systems, biochemistry focuses on the chemical processes that sustain life.

At Shekhawati Homoeopathy Medical College & Hospital, Sikar, this subject is taught to provide students with a clear understanding of body mechanisms, forming a strong foundation for clinical and homoeopathic practice.

Scope of Study

Human Physiology

 Functions of various body systems (circulatory, respiratory, digestive, nervous, endocrine, etc.)

 Mechanisms of body regulation and homeostasis

 Neuromuscular coordination

 Blood, immunity, and hormonal control

 Physiological responses to internal and external changes

Biochemistry

 Structure and function of biomolecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids)

 Enzymes and metabolic pathways

 Vitamins and minerals

 Molecular basis of health and disease

 Clinical biochemistry and diagnostic markers

Teaching Methodology

The department adopts a balanced approach combining theory and practical exposure:

 Interactive lectures with audio-visual aids

 Laboratory experiments and demonstrations

 Clinical correlation sessions
