Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Anatomy is broadly appreciated as being one of the cornerstones of medical education. If we go through the history of human anatomy it seems that anatomy of modern times is well recognised from the days of renaissance that is from 15th century. Medical Science was one area where surprising advances had been made in ancient times in India. Specifically these advances were in the areas of human dissection, embryology, plastic surgery, extraction of cataracts, description of Asthi, sandhi, peshi, snayu, marma and Pramana sharira etc. These are not just claims. There are documentary evidences to prove the existence of these practices. Acharya Sushruta has paid great attention towards the structural organization of the human body. This was emphasized to such an extent that no surgeon should start his surgical carrier unless he is well aware with human anatomy. Acharya Charaka also studied the anatomy of the human body and various organs. He also described the numbers of muscles, joints etc. in human body. The object of present study is to trace out the most significant and valuable hidden treasures of anatomy practiced in the past by Acharya and its review in Modern Science.
