According to Ayurveda Asthi, Peshi, Snayu are the factors in human body which supports body posture and locomotion, but according to Acharya Sushrut only Snayu which are 900 in number are said to be responsible for Bharsahatwa i.e., Weight Transmission. Asthi is called Bone, Peshi is called Muscles & Snayu is called Tendon. Bones are suppose to be the strongest part of body and are responsible for posture and locomotion. Bones also help in protection of vital organs such as Brain, Heart. Muscles help in body movement by contracting and relaxing themselves which results in movement of body parts. In this present study we are going to prove that the statement given by Acharya Sushrut i.e. Varoius Ligament present in body are responsible for weight transmission, in Sushrut Samhita is true. For this study we have compared histology of Bones, Muscles & Tendons. Result shows that Histologically Tendons are more rigid, strong & responsible for weight transmission than Bone & Muscles with the help of comparison of histology of Asthi, Peshi & Snayu.
