Case Study: Article 42, Snayu (Ligaments)
Article 62: Snayu (Ligaments)
Introduction
In Ayurveda, snayu refers to the ligaments and kandra stands for tendons. The study of the ligaments is known as desmology. Joint represents the articular apparatus, whereas, muscle, ligament, and tendon constitute the extra-articular apparatus. Diseases of the joints are better known as rheumatic diseases. Sandhigatavata (osteoarthritis), amavata (rheumatoid-arthritis) and vata-rakta (gout) are common forms of arthritis seen in clinical practice. Rheumatism is a broad- term used for inflammation or injury of the soft tissues. Cervical spondylosis, lumbar- spondylosis and sciatica or sciatic neuritis are other significant diseases included in this segment.

The cartilage merges at its free edges with the internal synovial membrane lining of the joint cavity, containing a small amount of fluid known as the synovial fluid. The cartilage obtains nutritients from the synovial fluid. Synovial fluid plays the role of the shock absorber as it prevents friction between the bones.

Among these, six-hundred are present in the extremities, two hundred and thirty in found. Seventy are found, urdhavajatrugata (above towards the neck). Snayu helps the joints in bearing heavy weight. The injury to bones, muscles, blood-vessels, and joints may not be as critical as to the ligaments.
Myasthenia Gravis
As regard pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis is concerned, it is similar to diseases like rheumatoid-arthritis, sanayugata-vata (biological air present in flesh and ligament), sanayu-mamsa-gata vata (biological air is present in flesh and ligament), kapha-avrita-vyana-vayu (the biological water being layered with vyana vata...special form of biological air) and the names of diseases with presentation of similar clinical findings like khanja (limping), urustambha (thigh-fatigue).
