Tree of physiology : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tree of physiology The Tree of physiology is a Tibetan Thangka depicting human physiology and certain pathological transformations. ==Epistemology== Tibetan medicine had developed a rather sophisticated knowledge of anatomy and physiology, which was acquired from their long-standing experience with human dissection. Tibetans out of necessity, had long ago adopted the practice of ''celestial burial'' (also Sky burial) because of Tibet's harsh terrain in most of the year and deficit of wood for cremation. This form of Sky burial, still practiced, begins with a ritual dissection of the deceased, and then followed by the feeding of the parts to Vultures on the hill tops. Both the location of the ritual dissection and the place of feeding is understood as the charnel ground. Over time, anatomical knowledge found its way into Ayurveda〔The Roots of Ayurveda (Penguin Classics) by Various and Dominik Wujastyk (2003)〕 and to an Iesser extent into China. As result, Tibet has become a home of the Buddhist medical centers Chogppori and Menchikhang (or Menhang),〔His Holiness the Dalai Lama: The Oral Biography by Deborah Hart Strober and Gerald S. Strober (2005) p.14〕〔Tao & Dharma: Chinese Medicine & Ayurveda by Robert Svoboda and Arnie Lade (1995) p.89〕 between the twelfth to sixteenth century A.D., where monks came to study even from foreign countries.
