Preface

Over the years while teaching the students of rachana shareera myself along with many of the colleagues shared the views of an absolute dearth of a single comprehensive text book of rachana shareera worth mentioning to prescribe to the students.

Being constantly insisted and hard pressed by my beloved students I ultimately decided to write a compact comprehensive syllabus wise and practically oriented text book of rachana shareera. It is an attempt to supply the students a comparatively easy technique to remember rachana shareera along with some multiple question which will be useful for the examination and for the higher study. The aim being to emphasize the simplicities rather than complexities. The book is written in a clear and concise language and in author’s own style which holds the reader’s interest. Extensive illustrations flow charts and diagrams have been used as and where needed to add lucidity and clarity to the subject and to emphasize the practical nature of the book.

Although the book has been written primarily for the undergraduates it should also prove to be useful to the students of other system of medicine those aspiring for getting the sound knowledge of Ayurveda. I however do no consider this book to be an ideal one but a humble attempt has been made to remove the bottlenecks as far as possible of the books available to the students at present.

Very little of what is worthwhile in this book could have been brought to publication without the generous co-operation advice and assistance of many of my colleagues seniors juniors and students.

The author wishes to acknowledge with gratitude Dr. K.T. Jayakrishnan principle for his sincere help.

I am thankful to Dr. B.C. Jana, J.B Roy state, Ayurveda College Kolkata – 4 reader dept of rachana sharira for sincere advice.

I wish to thank Dr. B.N Mishra Dr. S.K. Brahma for their sincere advice and co-operation.

Foreword

Study of anatomy in the curriculum of B.A.M.S had always been a controversial point of discussion. The western method of analyzing the structure is very well established in the form of anatomy and it is accepted all over the world.

This methodology of studying the body in the physical plane may not always find parallel in the ayurvedic system. It results in giving a lot of contradictions for the sincere students who are eager to know the extract structure of the body.

Here is an attempt by Dr. P.K. Moharana to clarify the areas to be stressed form ayurvedic point of view as well as form western point of view.

It is also written according to the prescribed syllabus of Rachana Shareera so that it will help the students to prepare themselves for examination and also it will be helpful for better understanding of physical structure from angles of observations.

Introduction

The human body is one of the most sophisticated of all creations. There are various parts that together make up the body as a whole. Each of these components performs a specific. Inspite of being made up diverse parts the body operates as a single entity. All the structures of the body are interdependent and they co-ordinate and correspond with each other in order to maintain a condition of normalcy in the body. For example any stimulus perceived by the sensory organs reaches the brain through the corresponding axons and neurons and similarly the brain responds to the stimulus sending the necessary impulse to the organ that has perceived the stimulus. Accordingly the organ functions and responds to the external stimulus. The communication is possible through the nervous system. Similarly in the cardiovascular system also blood lymph etc. serves as means of communication within different parts of the body. This kind of integrity is the base for existence. Once this co-ordination is lost the internal atmosphere of the body also gets disturbed and this leads to the condition of dis-ease. Similarly even to make the slightest movement the bones muscles, nerves, fibers, tendons etc. of that particular part must function properly in an integrated manner. Otherwise movement becomes quite difficult in that part of the body. Hence the proper structures that constitute the depends upon the proper co-ordination between the structures that constitute the body. This is why generally the normalcy of any structure is inferred from its normal functioning. Any condition wherein there is damage part and vice versa. Hence the condition of the body is always presented in terms of its functions. When a condition of disease sets in the normal functioning of the body gets impaired. Which is suggestive relation derangement at some level in the body. Thus structure ahs an inseparable relation with its function and forms a base or substratum for its function to exist in it. To understand the body in its totality both these aspects of structure and function must be analyzed thoroughly.

Hence life science has been divided into two main branches namely anatomy and physiology. These branches deal with the structure and its function respectively. These two provide the foundation for understanding the body parts and functions. Anatomy is the study of the structure and relationships among the structures. Although anatomy was first studied by dissection of cadavers many other techniques now contribute for the advancement of the anatomical knowledge while anatomy deals with structures of the body physiology deals with the functions of the body parts that is how they work.
