Internal respiration is gas exchange occurs between the blood and the tissue of the body. With the help of cardiovascular system the inhaled O2 rich blood is transported to the tissues of body. So blood is important & common mediator to nourishment of all dhatus through respiratory & cardiovascular System. The exchange of gases at tissue level is called as peripheral gas Exchange. It is also Known as internal respiration, as it involves the respiratory Procedure. The adjustments to increased metabolic rate or to hypoxia are achieved by increasing conductances1. So these adjustments consists both increased and decreased local blood flow and in improvement of diffusion conditions i.e. enlargements and recruitment of capillaries. So blood is transport medium of gases exchange at tissue level. The exact phenomenon of this exchange model stated in Ayurveda in the form of Raktdhatu and its functions as ‘Prano Shonitam Anuvartate’ i.e. Prana Vayu follws Raktadhatu to nourish tissues of whole body2. Here attempt has been made to review rakt dhatu functions with special reference to tissue level Respiration.
