Abstract: Ayurveda is an old medical system that introduced the notion of pancha gyanendriya, the most significant of which is twagindriya or sparshanendriya. The sparshanendriya is a sense organ responsible for the feeling of touch. It covers and protects the body's surface from heat, cold, and external infections, among other things. The human skin is a biological wonder. It is the body's protective coating.

Acharya Sushruta makes ayurvedic knowledge more practical and beneficial. His significant contributions to ayurvedic sharir include the description and categorization of diverse bodily structures such as sira, dhamni, snayu, asthi, twaka, and so on.
