Certain exemplary organs are grouped under different roga margas. The organic implications of each rogamarga can be discussed as follows.

=== Bahya rogamarga: ===

<p style='text-align:justify;'>This includes body components like twak (skin), rakta dhatu (blood), and other similar body consituents. [Cha.Sa.Sutrasthana 11/48] It is similar to a branch of tree.<ref name="ref13">Jyoti Devangamath Et Al: Crucial Role Of Rogamarga To Understand Vyadhi.

Thus, to show the remoteness of these structures, they have been termed as shakha. These are the structures seen one after another in a sequence. Rasa, rakta, mamsa, meda, majja pertaining to the internal structures like liver, spleen, brain etc. should not come under bahya roga marga. For example, hrdayagata rasa, yakrita gata rakta should come under abhyantara roga marga. The accessory appendages of skin like hair, nails, tactile cells, sebaceous glands etc. should be considered under bahya rogamarga. Mammary glands, ext. ear, tonsils, adenoids should also be considered under bahya rogamarga. Thus, looking to the structures and diseases allotted to bahya rogamarga, it is evident  that this marga has entities, which are superficial (compared to the madhyama rogamarga) and these entities are the first line of contact with the external stimulus and hence the pathology occurring is easily diagnosed and  approachable. The madhyama roga marga includes marma (vital organs) like heart, brain, kidneys, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons. [Cha.Sa.Sutra Sthana 11/48]

The grouping of structures of madhyama roga marga is quite different from that of other roga-marga. Although these organs are not connected with each other, they perform vital functions of the body and any damage to them will give rise to serious consequences.

<br/>The abhyantara roga marga is termed as kostha. It includes the gastrointestinal tract and all visceral organs.  While enumerating koshtangas basti, hridaya and vrikka included  in them will be included in  abhyantara rogamarga. But in text these organs and diseases related to them are ascribed to madhyama roga marga, which maybe explained as under
 +
<br/>Kosthanga are mainly responsible for nutrition and excretion of  mala. Hridaya is considered a kosthanga for; it is responsible for nutrition and excretion of blood impurities. Same is the case with vikka and basti. But the reason for not considering these organs under kostha may be that the structural disorders of any of the organs may influence the material flowing through them but not the organs of mahasrotas (A.Rm.) In case of the diseases related to abhyantara rogamarga, there may be indirect influence on the vahana dravya of these organs. eg. rakta mutrata in pittaja jwara, hrdaya asuddhi in ama jwara , bahu mutrata in ajirna etc. Thus, being influenced by kostha and their diseases, these might have been included in kosthanga. But when the point of roga marga comes, these organs are to be studied under madhyama roga marga as is in the texts.  </p>
