Physiology Museum
The Department of Physiology of Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo was established in 1870 at the time of inception of the Colombo Medical School. There were various types of equipment in the department that were utilized for teaching, practical, research and maintenance purposes. The department retains a few ‘antique’ instruments used for physiological experiments in the previous century. Some of them are quite “elegent” and are markedly different from what we see today.Our efforts in making a Physiology museum in the department were aimed at collating all these remaining items and preserving them for the future generations. We have a small collection at present on which we hope to expand to achieve the dream of a grand Physiology Museum.We gratefully request you to donate any antique equipment relevant to physiology possessed by you so that it will enhance our collection.
Interactive CDs on physiology practicals
Interactive CDs on physiology practicals developed by the department are available at a nominal fee for students.
