ABSTRACT
Peshi are component of body mainly composed of mamsa dhatu. During fetal development vata dosha enters the mamsa dhatu and divides it into peshi. Peshi are thick or thin, big or minute, stout/thick or round/circular, short or long, fix/stable, hard or soft, smooth or rough; they cover the sandhi, asthi, sira and snayu, in their places naturally. The morphology of peshi differs according to their locations and functions. Skeletal muscle, also called striated muscle, is a dense, fibrous contractile tissue which exists throughout the body, and functions to allow body movements by applying force to bones and joints, via contraction. In human, there are approximately 640 muscles and almost all are symmetrically distributed between the left and right sides of the body. Size and shape of different muscles are highly variable depending on their functions throughout the body.
