Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Among five types of vata dosha, apana vata plays an important role in controlling many systems of body viz. reproductive system, urinary system, excretory system and parturition. Acharya name these functions as Mutra dharana and nishkramana (Holding and voiding of urine), Shakrita dharana and nishkramana (Holding and voiding of feces) Artava dharana and nishkramana (Menstruation) Shukra dharana and nishkramana (Holding and emission of semen), Garbha dharana and nishkramana (Holding and expulsion of fetus), Garbha srijana (expulsion of fetus).The primitive micturition reflex brought out by the central integrating in the sacral spinal cord can be taken as the apana vata’s action on urinary system. Apanavata performs its function of defecation by Myenteric plexus and activation of pudendal nerve during defecation reflex.For ejaculation (shukranishkramana) three types of nervine controls viz. lumbar sympathetic trunk (LIL2) causing the rhythmic contractions of muscles of vas deferens the seminal vesicles and prostate, sympathetic impulse causing relaxation of detrusor muscle and contraction of internal sphincter inhibiting the micturition and parietal branch of pudendal nerve (S2S4) causing rhythmic contraction of perineal muscles facilitating ejaculation represent the apanavata physiology. For parturition (garbhanishkraman) two theories viz. uterine distension theory and Freguson reflex theory represent the apanavata physiology
