In addition to the 3 programs, there are also 2 divisions responsible for teaching fundamental subjects to the courses in the Health Science group and preclinical subjects for medical students.
Anatomy
is the field of biology concerned with the study of the structures of organisms. It is divided into several branches, compose of human gross anatomy, histology, embryology, neuroanatomy and comparative anatomy.
Anatomist makes predictions about forms, since from follow functions. Here, we serve academic knowledge to paramedic, dental and medical students. Additionally, our researches address the gross anatomy and anatomical variation, forensic sciences, toxicology, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and neurobiology. Our goal is to be the part of excellent research unit of School of Medical Sciences.
To follow the mission of the University of Phayao, we share our research knowledge to community in Northern Thailand.
Physiology
is the study of the control of normal functions, mechanisms and structures of living organisms of human body. The study of physiology involves learning core concepts and principles that are applied to the various organ systems including cellular physiology, body temperature regulation, nervous system, muscular system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, urinary system, endocrine system, and reproductive system.
Our division is responsible for teaching of physiology for students as they apply to humans. Our academic staff teach to various degrees in the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Allied Health Sciences, School of Pharmacy, School of Dentistry, and School of Science.
In addition to teaching, we also conduct many projects of biomedical research which aimed at the integration of the various activities of cells, tissues and organs at the level of the intact organism. In many instances the solutions to physiological problems are of practical value in medicine or help in our understanding of our bodies and those of other animals.
