Department of Kriya Sharira (Physiology)
About the Department
The Department of Kriya Sharira deals with the physiological functions of the human body as explained in both Ayurveda and modern medical science. This pre-clinical department is taught during the First Professional B.A.M.S course and focuses on understanding normal bodily functions, which form the basis for diagnosing and managing disease.
Ayurvedic physiology explains body functions through fundamental concepts such as Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, Agni, Srotas, Ojas, and Prana, while modern physiology provides scientific insight into organ systems and cellular mechanisms.
The department integrates these two streams to develop a comprehensive and applied understanding of human physiology.
