The Department of Physiology teaches and does scholarly work on physiological mechanisms of significance to medicine. In both teaching and research, the orientation of the department is broad, encompassing molecular, single cell, organ, and total body function.

The Department of Physiology participates in a program of instruction leading to the Master of Science degree with a major in physiological sciences and the Doctor of Philosophy degree through the Graduate Interdisciplinary Program in Physiological Sciences. For admission and degree requirements, see Physiological Sciences. Also see Requirements for Master's Degrees and Requirements for Doctoral Degrees or contact the Physiological Sciences Graduate Program Office at (520) 626-2898.

Current research areas of the faculty in the Department of Physiology include: cellular physiology and transport; cardiovascular physiology; comparative physiology; endocrinology and metabolism; mathematical physiology; muscle physiology, neural mechanisms, including motor control; regulation of bone formation; regulation of respiration; renal physiology; and reproductive physiology.

The specialized nature of the material and equipment required for courses given in the College of Medicine may necessitate some limitation of enrollment. Medical students will receive preference in courses required for the M.D. degree. All other students must obtain the permission of the instructor before enrolling. Graduate students already enrolled in College of Medicine departments will be given preference.
