EXPLORE THE ASHRUMARGA: A DISSECTIONAL APPROACH TO THE LACRIMAL SYSTEM’S ANATOMY
Dr. Archana A. Patel and *Dr. Jui N. Shahane
ABSTRACT
Our eyes are not only articulating organs of sight; they are also emotionally expressive organ of crying. The Ashru or the tears are part of a separate system called the lacrimal apparatus and this apparatus is situated close to the eyeball. Lacrimation is a protective mechanism, as the tears dilute and wash away irritating substance. Ashru marga, or the lacrimal apparatus lie in close relation to the Netra. This study will help to establish the relation between Ashru marga and lacrimal apparatus. This study has been done to study the Ashru marga and lacrimal apparatus with the help of cadaveric dissection. Dissection was carried out on minimum 5 cadavers (10 eyes) by using essential instruments. In dissection procedure structures of lacrimal apparatus were observed. Photographs were taken.
