'''Mamsavaha srotas :'''
'''Mamsavaha srotas :'''
The ''mamsavaha srotasa'' (nutrient transport system for mamsa) has its roots in ''snayu'' (ligaments) and ''twak'' (skin). [Cha. Sa. Vimana Sthana 5/8]

In addition, the ''raktavahi dhamani'' (major arterial trunks) also serve purpose of transport. [Su. Sa. Sharira Sthana 9/12].

There are various other anatomical structures related to ''mamsa dhatu''. These can be included in the system of ''mamsavaha srotasa''.The structures are as described below:

The well differentiated compact form of ''mamsa''(flesh) is called as ''peshi''(muscles). It is created by division of ''mamsa'' by [[vayu]] and [[pitta]]. [Su.Sam. Sharir Stahna 4/28]

There are 500 ''peshi'' in males and 520 ''peshi'' in female body.These ''peshi'' cover and provide strength to anatomical structures formed by veins, ligaments, bones, and their joints. [Su.Sa. Sha.5/37-39]

'''Mamsa jala(network):''' There are four types of ''jala''(network like structures) in body. ''Mamsa jala''(muscle network) is the first one among them, the others being that of ''sira''(veins),''snayu''(ligaments) and ''asthi''(bones). There are four such networks formed from each of these types. They are present in wrist and ankle joints and interlinked together.[Su. Sam. Sharira Sthana 5/12].

Normalcy of ''mamsa dhatu'' is assessed by examination of different muscle actions such as – ''akunchana'' (flexion), ''prasarana'' (extension), ''utkshepana'' (elevation), ''apakshepana'' (depression) and ''chakra gati'' (circumduction). ''Vyana vata'' is responsible for carrying out this function. [Cha.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 28/9]

''Mamsa dhatu'' is known for his pure quality of ''sthira guna'' which is manifested by a sort of tension or tautness in group of muscles and this is seen as – Muscle tone. Any deviation in this may be elicited as – Hypotonia or Hypertonia.
