RACHANA SHARIR

The subject of Rachna Sharir is one of the basic subjects in the curriculum of BAMS Undergrad. Rachna Sharir includes the study of normal body structures as stated in Ayurvedic sanhitas by the Acharyas, along with the study of modern anatomy.

This is a basic subject in the curriculum of BAMS by which we can identify and gain knowledge of human body parts using dissection methods and become an open-minded researcher and an able clinician.

शरीरे चैव शास्त्रें चं दुष्टार्थ: स्यात विशारद: |
दृष्टाश्रूताभ्याम संदेहमवापोह्याचरेत क्रिया:| सु शा ५/६३

The practical knowledge gained during dissection helps to understand the various structures of organs (Anga-pratyanga) in the body. Such knowledge can be used at the time of surgery also for understanding vikruti in various Anga-Pratyanga.
