Line 462: − === Glossary ===+ − <div style="text-align:justify;">+ − #''Srotas'' – The word ''srotas'' means a channel or a pathway with functions like secreting, oozing, leaking, and circulating. It refers to the macro and micro inner transport system of the body and pathways concerned with the function of accepting, rejecting as well as carrying the vital external supports for life from outside viz. ''prana'' (air), ''anna'' (food) and ''udak'' (water) which are essential to sustain life besides ejecting the excreta viz. ''mala'' (feces), ''mutra'' (urine) and ''sweda'' (sweat) in order to keep the internal environment clean. There are special systemic ''srotamsi'' for carrying/circulating the nutrients and bio-factors through each of the seven ''dhatus''. Besides these gross channels there are innumerable micro channels, pathways and receptors specific for transmission and transportation of different bio-factors/bio-events, tangible or intangible in the body. The ''srotas'' system forms the basic matrix of all physiological, pathological as well as the pharmacological functions of the living body. − #''Vimana'' – Methodology of assessment/measurement/identification of biological/clinical events of the living body. − #''Murtimantah'' – Material factors − #''Pranavaha Srotas'' – Respiratory system − #''Udakavaha Srotas'' – Hydration/dehydration system. − #Annavaha Srotas - Digestive system − #Rasavaha Srotas - Circulatory system. − #Raktavaha Srotasa – Haemopoetic system − #Mamsavaha Srotas – Muscular system − #Medovaha Srotas - Adipose system − #Asthivaha Srotas – Bone/Skeletal system − #Majjavaha Srotas – Bone marrow − #Shukravaha Srotas – Reproductive system − #Mutravaha Srotas – Urinary system − #Swedavaha Srotas – Perspiratory system − #Purishavaha Srotas – Excretory GIT System − #Talu – Palate − #Kloma – Oropharynx ,the site where the hydration/dehydration manifest the most − #Vama parswa – Left flank − #Amashaya – Stomach − #Hridaya – Heart/Brain − #Dhamani –Arteries − #Yakrit – Liver − #Pleeha – Spleen − #Basti – Urinary Bladder − #Vanksana – Pelvic zone including kidneys & urinary bladder − #Pakwashaya – Colon and Rectum − #Sthula Guda – Rectum and Anus − #Lomakupa – Hair follicles − #Sira – Veins − #Dhamani – Arteries- − #Rasayani – Micro channels carrying the plasma − #Nadi – Any tubular structure of the body.
