Marma is originated from the Sanskrit root word etymologically, ‘Mr’- Marne and the term ‘Sthana’ signi-fies the location. This jointly signifies the vitality of Marma in the human body. Any kind of injury to these parts of body may cause sensory or functional deformity or severe haemorrhage or even collapse and death instantaneously or lately. The Marma have been included as one of the important chapters in Sharir Sthana of Sushruta Samhita. In which Marma are categorized according to fatality, dimensions, integrity etc. Marma has a common factor as being a seat of Prana or seat of life in Ayurveda literature. Marma therapy focuses on stimulation of these points for activation of Prana factor in management of related dis-orders. But only described as danger spots of body Marma points have gained a lot of therapeutic im-portance nowadays. Considering present modern anatomy Marma being a physical entity also should be explored parallelly as it still lacks the adequate and comprehensive western science description. The meas-urements are given in Anguli Pramana of the person himself. Sushruta has described the anatomical classi-fication of Marma which makes it a little easier to explore them. This will lead to a proper understanding, for better learning and practice of Marma. Gulfa Marma is explored anatomically and in similarity to struc-ture and various other characteristics with modern anatomy.

The problem of variant anatomy of blood vessels does not lose its relevance, it comprehensively is being studied still and important in modern human anatomy. The study of the diversity of branching of the arterial bed is of interest not only to anatomists, but also to practicing physicians. The anatomical and clinical Russian and English-language medical literature describes numerous variants of the structure of the arterial system regarding the place of branching, the presence of additional arteries and the absence of major arteries, their branching types. During the preparation of corpses intended for practical studies with students at the Department of Human Anatomy, anatomists are often found with variability of branching vessels. Based on many years of cadavers’ preparation experience, it can be said that almost every corpse has certain structural features of the vascular system that are different from the classical description. Variants and anomalies of vascular branching can affect the pathogenesis and symptoms of various diseases, as well as the choice of methods for their treatment. When dissecting a female corpse, atypical branching of the axillary and brachial arteries was discovered. The aim of the study was to describe the revealed vascular anomaly of this corpse. In the study of the upper third of the shoulder was found a high fission of a. brachialis on its two main branches - a. ulnaris and a. radialis. A. thoracica lateralis was absent. Moreover, a. thoracoacromialis was branched from a. axillaris in the area of the thoracic triangle. This case is an example of atypical branching of the brachial and axillary arteries. Knowledge of branching options for arteries is necessary for carrying out diagnostic and treatment manipulations, since such atypical branching types undoubtedly complicate the work during surgical procedures during surgical interventions in this area of the limb, which, in fact, can lead to iatrogenic damage of arteries.

Proper Understanding

The main features of the scope of this paper are indicated by its title, from which it will be seen that I do not regard the current descriptions, which appear in textbooks of human anatomy, as providing an adequate conception either of the attachments or of the functions of the muscles at present named “Dorsal and Palmar Interosseous.” It may seem strange, in connection with such an exact (and, according to some, exhausted) science as human anatomy, that it should be possible to doubt the accuracy of modern text-books concerning such an apparently elementary consideration as the description of a group of muscles in the human hand; but we must bear in mind, first, the ease with which a statement is handed on from author to author without renewed investigation, if only, in the first instance, it has been stamped with the approval of a recognised authority, and second, that these descriptions were originally constructed with little or no reference to the facts of comparative anatomy. It is only by a series of careful comparisons that we can arrive at a proper understanding of the homologies of individual muscles or of groups of muscles in the human subject.

Acharya Sushruta explained that the organs of the body destroy after death except Asthi. Importance of Asthi & Sandhi is explained that it supports the human body just as trees are supported by the middle core Sara present inside the trunk. Knowledge of Asthi can be traced back from the Vedas passing chronologi-cally down to Samhitas. Bones are the hard-connective tissue forming the substance of the skeleton of most vertebrates, composed of a collagen rich organic matrix impregnated with calcium, phosphate, and other minerals. Bones protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells, store minerals, provide structure and support for the body and enable mobility. Importance of knowledge of Shareera Sankhya is given in our Samhitas. It explained that the clinician who has knowledge about hu-man body with its all parts with their enumeration never gets distracted. There is different opinion regarding the number of Asthi in different Samhitas. According to Acharya Charaka and Vagbhata 360 bones are present in Shareera. 300 bones are present in the Shareera according to Sushruta. The adult human body has 206 bones as per modern anatomy. Here is an attempt to compare the Acharyas’s view of Asthi San-khya Shareera with the modern human anatomy.

Virtual Dissection

Dynamical development of technologies changes not only education system in medicine at Rīga Stradiņš University, but there are a lot of performances in roles of the tutors, their skills and knowledge. The aim of this study was to investigate how the use of the 3D virtual dissection table “Anatomage”, like a platform for teaching of the students, transforms the tutor’s roles. In years 2016-2019 ten tutors learned the virtual technology well enough to utilize it in the practical classes and to integrate new, modern content into Human Anatomy curriculum at Department of Morphology. Tutors used virtual dissection platform and tools for a variety of purposes and in many ways. New technology helped tutors to develop topics with more interactive, complex tasks and collaboration among students, promoted required assessment methods and student self-assessment. Based on the variety of roles played by the Human Anatomy tutor in this virtual experience, through the focus groups we were fixed four main tutor’s roles types (technical, pedagogical, social and leadering). Variations in the usage of the “Anatomage” offered and reflected important performances, differences and divergences in tutors and their`s beliefs about the utility of this technology in the study course.

Summary5,-5'-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin (DPTH) is an effective inhibitor of thyroxine (T4) stimulation of α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase in rat liver mitochondria. Because this finding indicated a possible tool for future study of the mode of action of thyroxine, the ultrastructural and biochemical effects of DPTH and/or thyroxine on rat liver mere investigated.Rats were fed either standard or DPTH (0.06%) diet for 30 days before T4 (250 ug/kg/day) was injected. Injection of T4 occurred daily for 10 days prior to sacrifice. After removal of the liver and kidneys, part of the tissue was frozen at -50°C for later biocheailcal analyses, while the rest was prefixed in buffered 3.5X glutaraldehyde (390 mOs) and post-fixed in buffered 1Z OsO4 (376 mOs). Tissues were embedded in Araldlte 502 and the sections examined in a Zeiss EM 9S.Hepatocytes from hyperthyroid rats (Fig. 2) demonstrated enlarged and more numerous mitochondria than those of controls (Fig. 1). Glycogen was almost totally absent from the cytoplasm of the T4-treated rats.

Insect molting and metamorphosis are elicited by a class of polyhydroxylated steroids, ecdysteroids, that originate in the prothoracic glands (PGs). Prothoracicotropic hormone stimulation of steroidogenesis by the PGs at the cellular level involves both calcium and cAMP. Cell-to-cell communication mediated by gap junctions may play a key role in regulating signal transduction by controlling the transmission of small molecules and ions between adjacent cells. This is the first report of gap junctions in the PGs, the evidence obtained by means of SEM, thin sections and freeze-fracture replicas.
