>From earth to spirit:


element(Bhutás): - sense organ: - function - form:
1 earth = prithvi tattva =nose (nashka) smell(ghanda) vast

The square in which are all the 5 senses working to hear,to feel, to 
see, to taste and to smell.

2. water = Jala = apas tattva - tongue(JHVA) - taste( Rasa,Svada)-
liquit       

This form looks like half the moon and makes to hear,to feel, to see 
and to taste . ( so no smell)

3. Fire= Tejas=taijasa tattva - the eye(Chakshu) -the seeing - 
gas 
(Ranga=color)
(Rupa= form)

This makes the triangle with o hear,to feel and to see.( so no taste 
and smell)
 
4. Air= Vayu tattva - skin (Tvachã) - feeling-touch (Sparsha)  
double gas and etheric.
This forms the double triangle, 6 pointed star and the senses of to 
hear and to feel.( so no seeing,taste or smelling)

5. Ether=Akasha tattva - ear (Karna) - the hearing(Shabda) - 
etheric.
This form is an Oval and produces only hearing.


After that we have 
6. the Mind ( Anapudaka tattva)Puititary gland= hypofyse -Anja Chakra

7.Spirit ( Adi tattva) Pineal gland = Epifyse - Sahasrara chakra


The corresponding chakras for the first 5 elements are : From 1 till 
5:

1= muladhara(rootchakra or tall-bone) 2= swadhisthana(sacral centre) 
3= manipura(solair centre) 4= anahata(heartcentre)ahamkara,citta and 
jivatma.
5= vicuddha(throat chakra) 
I hope I make it understandable for you.
