ABSTRACT  : The word kala has been used in many senses in vedic & other ancient literature , Kala Sharira is an important part of Ayurvedic anatomy. Kala was first time described by Sushruta. He has explained kala as a barrier between dhatu and its ashaya Vagbhata has then added embryological development that it is the  important physical and functional components of the body. They form a protective coating for the ashayas as well as boundary between the ashayas and dhatus. There are seven kala in the body, in which second kala is Raktadhara kala. Kala sharira (anatomy and physiology of kala) gives us information about the important membranes and layers of the body which take part in many important functions of the body. Acharyas of Ayurveda have described the Anatomy & Physiology of Raktadhara kala in very brief manner.It is explained that Raktadhara kala holds the Raktadhatu (Blood) & present especially in sira (vessels), yakrita (liver) & pleeha (speen) but which structure inside of them is responsible for Raktadhara kala is not clearly mentioned. Hridaya (Heart) is an important organ of blood circulatory system but it is not included as a specific site of Raktadhara kala. So for proper understanding, it is essential to correlate it with the modern science & elaborate in a proper way.

The circulatory system, which consists of the heart, arterial system, venous system, and lymphatics, constitutes a complicated network of vessels and ducts that are responsible for the delivery of oxygenated blood to the body and return of deoxygenated blood to the heart and lungs. The heart is at the center of the circulatory system, and its pumping mechanism provides energy and nutrition to all organs in the body. This review focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the heart and describes anatomic details that are important to the planning of many common cardiac operations.    This review contains 28 figures, and 25 references. Key words: aortic root, aortic valve, atrial septum, atrioventricular node, coronary artery, fibrous skeleton of heart, mitral valve, myocardium, pericardium, pulmonic valve, sinoatrial node, tricuspid valve, ventricular septum

Ayurveda is the science of life and its main aim is to maintain healthy status of healthy individuals and to cure the disease of the diseased persons, i.e. Swasthasya Swastha Rakshanam Aturasya Vikara Prashama-na”. To fulfil these purposes, Ayurveda has mentioned various fundamental principle in the treatises of Ayurveda. Concept of Ojus and Vyadhikshamatva (IMMUNITY)have been explained in Ayurvedic Treatis-es. Even though Ojus is located in Hrdaya (HEART), Ojus pervades all over the body and controls the all the functions of the body. By its loss or destruction, the destruction of life /body is sure to happen and by its presence, the body is sure to survive and different state (condition, activity, etc) concerned with the body are brought properly. The main function of Ojus is seen in treatises in the form of Vyadhikshamatva. Capacity or power of body to fight against disease and to resist against production of disease is known as Vyadhikshamatva. Immunity is defined as the capacity of the body to resist the pathogenic agents. So, the concept of Ojus and Vyadhikshamatva are similar as that of immunity of modern science. Understanding the concept of Ojus and Vyadhikshamatva will be helpful in fulfilling both the aims of Ayurvedic science, i.e. in contribution of implementation of positive health and in seeking solution of disorder through Ayur-veda. So, here an effort is made to study on Ojus.

In Ayurveda, Grahani Dosha is one among the Mahagadas. In modern science, Grahani Dosha included into digestive disorders. It’s prevalence about 69% in current time because of faulty dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, stress and side effects of modern drugs. This cause leads too many digestive diseases. The organ Grahani is the seat of Jatharagni (digestive fire) both are interrelated. It’s supported and nourished by the strength of Agni. Normally, it receives the in- gested food, which is retained by restraining the downward movement (Grahanati). After diges- tion it releases the food through sides of lumen to next Ashaya i.e. Pakvashaya. In abnormal conditions due to weakness of Agni, it gets vitiated and releases food in indigested form. When Agni is not proper the food will not be digested properly and this undigested food gets fermenta- tion and acts like poison in the body. It’s called Ama. Ama Utpatti leads to Grahani Dosha. Ag- nimandhya is important factor in the Samprapti of the disease Grahani Dosha. So it should be mainly treated for Agnivardhana by Drugs with Deepana (which enhances digestive power) and Pachana (digestive) qualities.

Ayurveda considers Jaundice (Kamala) as a disorder of Raktavahasrotas. Vitiated Pitta is the main causa-tive factor in the pathogenesis of Kamala. In Ayurveda, Kamala is a next step of Pandu (anaemia). Ac-cording to Acharya Charaka, Kamala is mainly caused due to frequently consumption of Ushna (hot), Tik-shna (spicy) food i.e. Pittaprakopak Ahara (increasing level of Pitta). Due to these factors vitiation of Pitta (bile), Rakta (blood) and Mamsa (muscles) Dhatu will occur. Kamala is clinically correlated with jaundice due to its similarity of symptoms like yellowish of skin (Twak pitata), sclera (Netra), urine (Mutra), stool (Purisha) etc. In Kamala Vyadhi all Acharyas in Ayurveda texts has explained about Virechana Karma. Modern science has its own limitations in treating Kamala Vyadhi (jaundice) but Ayurvedic literature clearly explained pathology and treatment of Kamala Vyadhi which shows the specificity of Ayurveda. Ayurvedic line of management i.e., Virechana therapy and Shamana Chikitsa are successful in Kamala by removing toxic waste from the body and by correction of Agni (digestive fire).

The Drosophila melanogaster dorsal vessel is a linear organ that pumps blood through the body. Blood enters the dorsal vessel in a posterior chamber termed the heart, and is pumped in an anterior direction through a region of the dorsal vessel termed the aorta. Although the genes that specify dorsal vessel cell fate are well understood, there is still much to be learned concerning how cell fate in this linear tube is determined in an anteroposterior manner, either in Drosophila or in any other animal. We demonstrate that the formation of a morphologically and molecularly distinct heart depends crucially upon the homeotic segmentation geneabdominal-A (abd-A). abd-A expression in the dorsal vessel was detected only in the heart, and overexpression of abd-Ainduced heart fate in the aorta in a cell-autonomous manner. Mutation ofabd-A resulted in a loss of heart-specific markers. We also demonstrate that abd-A and sevenup co-expression in cardial cells defined the location of ostia, or inflow tracts. Other genes of theBithorax Complex do not appear to participate in heart specification,although high level expression of Ultrabithorax is capable of inducing a partial heart fate in the aorta. These findings for the first time demonstrate a specific involvement for Hox genes in patterning the muscular circulatory system, and suggest a mechanism of broad relevance for animal heart patterning.

In the modern world, where a person is exposed to daily stress, increased physical exertion, the toxic effect of various substances, including drugs. The task of modern science is to find antioxidants for the body. These can be additives obtained both synthetically and the active substances that we get daily from food. Such a striking example is turmeric, obtained from the plant Curcuma longa. Recently, it has been known that curcumin has an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer effect and, thanks to these effects, plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, in particular, from cancer to autoimmune, neurological, cardiovascular and diabetic diseases. In addition, much attention is paid to increasing the biological activity and physiological effects of curcumin on the body through the synthesis of curcumin analogues. This review discusses the chemical and physical characteristics, analogues, metabolites, the mechanisms of its physiological activity and the effect of curcumin on the body.

Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath may be simply termed as Shwasa (Asthma), As per Ayurveda, Shwasa is mainly caused by the Vata and Kapha Doshas. Shwasa is broadly classified into five types in Maha Shwasa (Dyspnoea major), Urdhawa Shwasa (Expiratory Dyspnoea), Chinna Shwasa (Chyne-stroke respiration), Kshudra Shwasa (Dyspnoea minor), Tamaka Shwasa (Bronchial Asthma). In modern science Tamaka Shwasa can be correlated with Asthma, Asthma which is a chronic inflammatory disease of airway. In modern medicine there is no cure for Asthma, symptoms can typically be improved. In Ayurveda, Asthma can be effectively and safely manage the condition without inducing any drug dependency where Pachakarma procedures and use of internal medication detoxifies the body, provides nutrition and increases the elasticity of lung tissue it also develops natural immunity of the body thus decreasing episodic recurrence of the disease.
