    Anatomy & Physiology of Grahani

    Stomach
    The आमाशय (stomach) is the primary organ of ग्रहणी, where digestion begins with
    the breakdown of food.

    Small Intestine
    The small intestine is crucial for further digestion and absorption of nutrients. It
    also houses the majority of the digestive enzymes.

    Pancreas
    The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and hormones, contributing significantly
    to the ग्रहणी process.
    Functions of Grahani

    Digestion
    ग्रहणी oversees the breakdown of food into simpler compounds
    that the body can easily absorb and utilize.

    Absorption
    It facilitates the absorption of nutrients from digested food into
    the bloodstream, providing vital energy and building blocks for
    the body.

    Excretion
    ग्रहणी plays a role in eliminating waste products from the
    digestive system, maintaining a healthy balance.

    3 Disorders
    ग्रहणी disorders manifest as digestive problems like indigestion, bloating, and constipation.

    absorb.

    Waste Elimination
    पित्तधर कला helps eliminate waste products from the body
    through bile excretion.
