Anatomical laboratory

The School of Health Sciences at the University of Georgia is equipped with three state-of-the-art Human Body and Function Laboratories, namely, rooms 506, 410, and 309. These well-equipped laboratories feature modern, multifunctional anatomical models meticulously tailored to complement the diverse curricula offered by the School of Health Sciences.

These anatomical models comprehensively encompass all organs and systems of the human body, providing students with a rich educational experience. Under the guidance and supervision of experienced lecturers, students have the unique opportunity to engage in practical demonstrations using these anatomical models.

One noteworthy feature of the Human Body and Function Laboratory is the presence of a 3D anatomical table, such as the Anatomage, which hosts virtual 3D human cadavers. This technology offers multifaceted capabilities, allowing for virtual cadaver dissections, detailed exploration of various anatomical layers, the visualization of histological tissues, the study of internal organ physiology, and the presentation of test questions based on clinical correlations, among other functionalities.

Furthermore, the integration of Oculus Quest 2 virtual glasses in the Human Body and Function Laboratory, featuring the media holodeck program, significantly contributes to the digitization and modernization of the educational process. These virtual glasses facilitate three anatomical modes, enhancing the learning experience for students and promoting a deeper understanding of human anatomy and function.

In sum, all three laboratories dedicated to the study of the human body and its functions have been thoughtfully designed to meet the contemporary requirements of teaching, ensuring that they cater to the evolving needs of both students and lecturers. These facilities are instrumental in providing a comprehensive and cutting-edge education in the field of health sciences.

Physiology Teaching-research Laboratory

The Teaching Research Laboratory of Physiology is a well-equipped facility that houses the essential tools for contemporary research in the field of physiology. Beyond traditional lectures, these tools are actively integrated into practical seminars, offering students the opportunity to not only gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of physiology but also to hone their research skills.

For instance, the laboratory is furnished with resources like the Labscribis computer program and the corresponding experimental apparatus, which allow students to record evoked responses, electrocardiography, electroencephalography, spirometry parameters, and conduct simple experiments. These hands-on experiences enable students to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.

Within this laboratory, students delve into a range of physiological parameters, including ECG readings, blood pressure data, blood glucose levels, and oxygen levels. This engagement aligns with the requirements of clinical laboratories and the syllabus-defined methodologies, enriching students' understanding of these critical physiological measurements.

Additionally, research activities within the laboratory extend to the assessment of students' circadian rhythms and the identification of any associated irregularities. Actigraphs are employed to study day-night cycles in a controlled environment. The research endeavors undertaken by the students of the Department of Medicine encompass the utilization of globally recognized questionnaires, such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Research Questionnaire and Depression and Stress Questionnaires. The data generated and processed within the laboratory have not only contributed to presentations at international congresses but have also been published, underscoring the laboratory's pivotal role in advancing research and scholarship in the field of physiology.

Teaching and Research Laboratory of Pharmacy

The Pharmacy Teaching and Research Laboratory serves as a pivotal nexus for the dissemination of practical instruction and scholarly inquiry within the domain of pharmacy. It is furnished with a comprehensive array of reagents, chemical apparatus, and specialized equipment requisite for the execution of didactic and investigative endeavors.

Presently, the laboratory is instrumental in the provision of experiential education pertaining to pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmaceutical technology. In tandem with didactic pursuits, the laboratory is concurrently engaged in two scholarly initiatives: "Phytochemical and biological study of the roots of young Cynanchum plants in Georgia" and "Phytochemical study of individual parts of Smilax excelsa for the study of pharmacological potential".

The Pharmacy Teaching and Research Laboratory is currently located in Building I, room 202.
