Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The concept of tissue is highlighted under different entity like dhatu, kala, upadhatu etc. Osseous tissue or bone is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body. The matrix of bone contains abundant of collagen fibres and these impart strength, some flex and resistance to twisting or torsional forces. Bones consist of living cells embedded in a mineralised matrix. It has both organic and inorganic components. Its organic components include the cells (osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts) and osteoid, the organic part of the matrix. The balance of bone tissues consist of inorganic hydroxyapatites, or mineral salts, largely calcium phosphates present in the form of tiny tightly packed crystals in and around the collagen fibres in the extracellular matrix. In relation to osseous tissue, asthi dhatu, asthi-dhara kala will come under consideration and relating to applied aspect,its upadhatu and mala i.e kesha and loma are also emphasised. In the context of formation of asthi dhatu–vayu, teja, prithvi is considered. Here Vayu has played the role of creation of pores in the form of Intermedullary canal, Haversian system, Volkmann’s canal and Nutrient foramen. Observing the applied aspect the morbidities are found in context of asthi kshaya, asthi vriddhi, asthi vaha srota dushti. The disorders in osseous tissue like Marfan syndrome, Achondroplasia exhibit genetic influences. These characteristics can be understood with adhyasthi or adhidanta in classics where increased osseous tissue is noticed. The kesha prapatan and loma prapatan are meant for involvement of mala of asthi dhatu. The basic function dharana can be understood along with the action of bone where it acts as framework of human body after forming skeleton and cartilages. The present work wants to make an interpretation of all these elements.
