Abstract

In Ayurveda, Rachana Sharir examines the embryological and structural organization of the human body. One of the branches of Rachana Sharir that describes a certain body structure is Paribhasha Sharir. Literally, Paribhasha signifies terminology. The first step in understanding any given subject is to grasp its basic terminology and main concepts. Kurcha is among such unexplored topics that come from the sannipat of dhamani and snayu. Kurcha is examined in this study from the perspective of modern anatomy, contrasting its location and related elements with knowledge from both Ayurvedic and Modern medical literature. The purpose of the cadaveric dissection method is to investigate the anatomical structures related to the kurcha and to evaluate the applicability of traditional Ayurvedic concepts, such as those described by Sushruta, in the context of modern medical understanding.
