== Clinical significance of srotasa ==
<p style="text-align:justify;">Clinical assessment of srotasa is done from the root level (mulasthana). It means the origin of strotasa is assessed through its functions. Therefore, vitiation of srotasa can be easily identified in various disorders related to the srotasa. Elaborated understanding of srotasa is necessary, because srotasa are the factors involved in the genesis of the entire body.
<br/>
Pathogenesis or vitiation in the transport system leads to stagnation of unwanted things, depletion of essential nutrients, eredication of the body tissue and cells, and imbalance in the body, mind, and health. This leads to multiple diseases related to different channels of the body.<ref name="ref3">https://www.easyayurveda.com/2016/06/02/srotas-body-channels-and-duct.. </ref> <br/>
Srotasa is the inner transport or circulatory system of the body. These can be depicted on macroscopic (sthula) as well as microscopic (sukshama) level for the descriptions pertaining to the exchange of gases, transportation of various nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract to multiple parts of the body and elimination of waste products (kitta bhaga) like urine & feces, from the body. They are mainly structural and functional body units and carry essential nutrients, transmitting sensory and motor reflexes throughout the body. Sthula srotasa, along with their roots are emphasized for pathology & treatment. Srotasa play a prime role in understanding physiology, pathology, clinical medicine, etc. </p>
== Contemporary approach<ref name="ref4">Chatterjee’s C.C human physiology, 13th edition. CBS publishers & distributors; New Delhi : 2021.p2-21. </ref> ==
<p style="text-align:justify;">As per contemporary physiology, cells are structural and functional body units. The group of cells form tissues. Organs and and different body systems are designated for specific functions. These systems carry their physiological functions and maintain homeostasis in body. The circulatory system, digestive system, endocrine system, exocrine system, immune system, muscular system, nervous system, urinary system, reproductive system, respiratory system, and skeletal system are examples of these systems. </p>
== Differences in fundamental concepts of ayurveda and conventional medicine ==
<p style="text-align:justify;">Conventional medicine progresses from first observing and understanding the structure of the cell, organs, tissues, system etc, and then projecting this understanding to explain how they might function in the entire body. In comparison, ayurveda progresses from observing the functioning of the body structures at first to building a conceptual understanding of how their network might be in the body. Ayurveda focuses on how functional understanding can help to know the structure in a better way. This is why some parts of body are named according to their function e.g. hridaya suggests functions of mind, anatomical heart, cardiac region, and head. </p>
== Physiological functions and medical approach to each one srotasa<ref name="ref2" /> ==
<ul style="text-align:justify;"><li>Annavaha srotasa is responsible for the nutritional supply since it covers esophagus & gastrointestinal tract. </li>
<li>Pranavaha srotasa carries out the function of transportation of vayu since it moves through the heart & respiratory tract. </li>
<li>Rasavaha & raktavaha srotasa transport rasa & rakta through heart, venous, arteriole circulatory system & other vessels. </li>
<li>Swedavaha & medavaha srotasa performs detoxification since it covers subcutaneous fat tissue & sweat glands along with micropores of the skin. </li>
<li>Manovaha & majjavaha srotasa are the causative factors for neuronal and sensory transportation.</li>
<li>Shukravaha and artavavaha srotasa transport essential components throughout the reproductive and sexual organs. </li>
<li>Purishavaha srotasa helps to transport fecal wastes and gaseous substances from the cecum, rectum, and intestine through anal orifice. </li>
<li>Mutravaha srotasa helps with detoxification through the urinary tract. </li></ul>
