#''Sira / Sirah'': A kind of blood vessel that transports the contents from one place to another; According to Vagbhata, they originate in the heart. They carry various substances including ''Rasa, Rakta,'' and ''Ojas''.

#''Srotas / Srotamsi'': Structures meant for the transportation of ''dhatus'' that are undergoing the process of transformation. The appearance of a ''srota'' is similar to the ''dhatu'' that it transports. These are of two types: ''Sthula'' (gross), and ''Anu'' or ''Sukshma'' (minute). This term is also suggestive of a kind of vessel that facilitates the fluid exchange. Sushruta states that there are eleven pairs of ''srotamsi'' (channels) that transport eleven different biological entities: ''Prana, Anna, Udaka, Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda,'' ''Mutra, Purisha, Shukra,'' and ''Artava''. Charaka explains that there are thirteen gross ''Srotamsi'' in the body that carry the following entities: ''Prana, Anna, Udaka, Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja, Shukra, Mutra, Purisha,'' and ''Sveda''.
