Abstract: The cultivation of research capacity is one of the main training aims of medical students. In the experimental teaching of physiology the research curiosity and interest of the students would be aroused by introducing the history and the advanced development of physiology. The research thought of the students would be cultivated by applying the dialectical materialism and scientific research teaching method and the teachers' educational doctrine and creative ability should be improved so as to cultivate the students' research capacity in the experimental teaching of physiology. Thus the medical students' re-search capacity was cultivated.
