2. INTRODUCTION
•Snayu are string like fibrous structures & belong to the upadhatu category.
•Snayu is upadhatu of medha dhatu
•They are binding materials in the body to bind the mamsa, asthi & medas.
•During development the essence part of the medas undergoes the metabolic
process & forms the siras & snayus.
•Some of the snayus are hairy thin, network appearance & minute; thus difficult to
locate with naked eyes.

to any of the mamsa, asthi sira & sandhi.
