APARA-A BRIDGE OF LIFE W.S.R TO PLACENTA
Dr. Harshitha Vasundhara P.* and Dr. Sunita Siddesh
ABSTRACT
Apara described in Samhita is an important structure for Garbha (fetus). Samhita description says it is formed by obstructed Artava (menstrual blood). It lies in relation to the maternal hridaya and provides nutrition to the developing Garbha through Garbhanabhinadi (umbilical cord). It sheds off after Prasava (labour). This indicates Apara to be the Placenta from modern anatomical term. Its formation described from obstructed Artava may be because of resemblance of its maternal surface with blood clots and absence of Artava in Garbhavastha (pregnancy). This article is a conceptual study of Apara w.s.r to Placenta .Any abnormality of placenta can adversely affect mother and fetus both. Thus knowledge of placenta and its abnormalities is very much essential. Hence an effort is made herein to delineate all the conditions of placental anomalies.
