Physiology is the study of the biological processes that support life. Physiology studies the interaction between factors that determine health and disease at the cellular, tissue, and whole-organism levels. The department of Physiology is located in the ground floor of Academic Block of Government Institute of Medical Sciences, Greater Noida. The department is actively involved in teaching and research. Currently involved in teaching undergraduate medical, nursing and paramedical students. The department has numerous research projects and publications to its credit. Many books have been authored by the faculty. The facilities provided by the department include Autonomic Function lab, life style research lab, spirometry, exercise physiology, neurophysiology Lab.
