Background - Ayurved is an ancient medical science explained by different acharya in their Samhita. Out of them acharya sushruta had explained concept of kala sharir. Kala is anatomical structure mention in their sharirsthan which are seven in number. Anatomically kalas are very difficult to understand performing the function of protection, secretion and absorption but acharya define them in significant manner. Shleshmdhara kala is one of them located in all joint (in between two asthi) of the body, secret shleshmak kapha and seperate the two bone (asthi) from each other. Whereas synovial membrane present in synovial joint is one of the ligaments which lubricates the articulating surfaces by secreting synovial fluid for free motion and decrease the resistance in them. Human body consist of 3 types of joint, fibrous joint, fibro cartilaginous joint and synovial joint which has fibrous, fibro cartilaginous and capsular ligament (synovial membrane) respectively. Both structures (shleshmadhara kala and ligaments) have similar anatomical position and functional activity. So by studying ligaments one can easily understand shleshmadhra kala explained by acharya sushruta. Also one can easily understand anatomical changes in shleshmadhara kala which turns into pathological conditions.
