        abstract = {Introduction: The concept of Srotas occupies a central position in Ayurvedic anatomy Rachana Sharir, representing the body’s structural and functional channels responsible for transport, transformation, and communication. While classical texts describe Srotas in qualitative and functional terms, modern anatomical science offers detailed structural correlates that can enrich their interpretation.
Objective: To reinterpret the structural concept of Srotas through an anatomical lens and develop a systematic correlation between classical Ayurvedic descriptions and contemporary structural anatomy.
Methods: A qualitative textual review of classical Ayurvedic literature was conducted alongside a comparative analysis with modern anatomical descriptions of channels, ducts, vessels, membranes, and microcirculatory systems.
Results: Srotas demonstrate strong structural correspondence with multiple anatomical systems including vascular channels, lymphatic pathways, neural conduits, epithelial-lined ducts, interstitial pathways, and cellular transport mechanisms. The Ayurvedic framework presents a hierarchical channel network from gross macroscopic passages to subtle microstructural pathways aligning with systemic, tissue-level, and cellular transport systems described in modern anatomy.
Conclusion: The structural interpretation of Srotas reveals Ayurveda’s sophisticated channel-based model of body organization. Integrating classical insights with anatomical science offers a comprehensive structural-functional understanding relevant for education, research, and integrative medicine.},
