Abstract

Srotas is described in classics as anatomical structure which transports the specific entities from one place to the other place through exudation, filtration and permeation. It is dynamic inner transport system of the body-mind spirit organization and exhibit specificity and selectivity. Ayurveda has emphasised the role of Srotas both in physiological and pathological state, therefore study of Srotovigyana is essential for understanding the basic systemic & functional Anatomy of the body, because they exist from molecular level to systemic level in human body. So, it provides information regarding the body at gross and subtle level. These channels of circulation are working at micro as well as macro level in the body. So it is important to explain the Srotas at cellular (micro) and systemic (macro) level anatomically.

Keywords: Srotas, transport system, cellular level, systemic level.
