Abstract

Ayurveda is the sea of knowledge and to get a pearl from it, we should wear a ‘diving suit of curiosity’ and make deep dive. The cause of our diving is to curiosity about the human body part called Guda (ano-rectum). We elaborate how it is correspond to ano-rectum in modern anatomy. On the basis of literature review we also elaborate the two terminologies i.e. Uttara Guda (distal rectum) and Adhara Guda (anal canal), which seems to be the functional division of Guda (ano-rectum). The function of Uttara Guda (distal rectum) and Adhara Guda (anal canal) are compared with the particular parts of ano-rectum to simplify the exact anatomy of these parts.
