History of Anatomy in India
• Anatomy in ancient India
The post- upanishadic period from 800 B.C
to 1000 A.D. may be considered the “ golden
age of Indian Medicine”.
Ayurveda, the science of life
Ayur=longlife;veda=science
Two great proponent of this science -Susruta
&Charaka .
Susrata lived two centuries before Christ &was a
Contemporary to Charak’s guru Atreya
- first written evidence of Ayurveda is in the-Sanskirit
writing of
Charak samhita and
Susruta Samhita.
Charak Samhita can be dated back to 1.A.D.
- Both these samhita’s devote a complete section
“Sarira sthana”to the subject of Anatomy .
- in these sections beside gross Anatomy,
embryology and histology are also delt.
SUSRATA OR SUSHRUTHA (6TH century B.C.)
- renowned surgeon of ancient India
- described about 120 surgical instruments.
- 300 surgical procedures and classifies human
surgery into 8 catagories.
- He lived and taught his art on the bank of Ganga in
Varanasi . Known as father of surgery.
- The anatomical fact described him are
- 300 bones, 500 muscles (400 in limbs,66 in trunk
&34 in Head & Neck .
- Described blood vessels i.e.,Dhaminis and Siras
Anatomy In Modern India
• Medical education in India revived with the arrival
of the British (1600A.D)
• Medical schools were estabilished (late 19thcentury)
Madras, calcutta and bombay.
• Madras in 1835. Dr Mortimer of that school use to
teach the muscles and bones from paste board
models.
• Mortimer’s mannual precedes Cunningham’
mannual of practical anatomy
• Dr Y.G.Nadgir was the first to be appointed as
