The word Srotas means body passages or body channels. Any body passage or channel, which carries solids, liquids, gases, nerve impulses, nutrients, waste products and secretions from the glands, is termed as
srota.
Some physicians consider that man is nothing but a network of multitude of channels i. e.
srotas.

The body channels are classified as :
