The vision of the Department of Human Physiology is to foster an advanced understanding of physiological principles and their clinical implications, ensuring that dental students are equipped with the scientific knowledge necessary to excel in their profession. The department aims to create a learning environment that encourages critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and evidence-based practice. By emphasizing the relevance of physiological concepts to oral health, the department strives to cultivate professionals who are not only skilled in clinical practice but also adept at understanding the broader health context of their patients. As future professionals in oral health care, dental students must have a comprehensive grasp of physiological processes that underpin both the normal functioning and pathological conditions of the human body. The study of human physiology provides insights into the mechanisms that regulate essential bodily functions, enabling dental students to make informed decisions in diagnosis, treatment, and patient care.
The mission of the Department of Human Physiology is to provide high-quality education that integrates the theoretical aspects of physiology with practical applications relevant to dental science. Delivering a curriculum that emphasizes the importance of systemic health in relation to oral health, recognizing the interconnection between body systems and oral diseases. Promoting research and inquiry in physiological sciences that contribute to the advancement of dental medicine. For dental students, understanding human physiology is critical for effective patient care. The knowledge of how various organ systems function, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, and nervous systems, is essential for understanding the systemic factors that may affect oral health.
