LU 7
what time is the Lung channel on duty
3am-5am
*what is the qi-blood level of the lung channel
less blood, more qi
*what are the special features of the lung channel
- it starts in the middle jiao (stomach)
- Gu qi in the stomach ascends to the pectoral area (zong qi) then flows to Lung 1
- It links to the large intestine
- it links to the throat and upper respiratory tract
- It is indirectly linked to the nose by the large intestine meridian
what pathways of the lung channel is connected to the large intestine channel
primary, luo, and divergent
what pathways of the lung channel is connected to the large intestine organ
primary and divergent
what organs does the lung primary merdian connect with
Lung Large intestine Stomach Diaphragm Throat
in general, what do points on the lung channel treat
head, face, throat, chest, lung illness, spitting of blood and other conditions along the pathway of the meridian including cramping and pain
what does hot sensation in the palms indicate
excessive qi in the luo collaterals of the lung
what does yawning, frequent urination, and enuresis indicate
deficiency qi in the luo collaterals of the lung
what are the pathological manifestations of the lung sinew channel
cramping and pain along the course of the channel and spitting of blood
where does the lung primary channel originate
in the middle jiao (stomach)
what is the pathway of the lung primary channel
middle jiao/stomach, descends to connect with the large intestine organ, ascends to the cardiac orifice of the stomach and traverses the diaphragm, penetrates the lung, ascends the throat, emerges at LU 1, goes along the rest of the channel to LU 11
what is the pathway of the branch of the lung primary channel/pathway of the lung luo channel
a branch separates from the main channel at LU 7, at the styloid process, and travels directly to the radial side of the tip of the index finger where it links with the large intestine channel at LI 1
where does the lung channel meet the large intestine channel
LU 7
what are the characteristics of the divergent channel
it is where it diverges/emerges/converges from the primary channel
it goes deeper than the primary channel
they all ascend to the face
*where do the divergent channels go
upwards to the face
where does the lung divergent channel diverge from the primary channel
at the axilla
describe the lung divergent channel
from the axilla, it passes to the heart channel, connects with the lung organ, disperses in the large intestine organ
describe the branch of the lung divergent channel
a branch ascends from the lung, emerges at the supraclavicular fossa, ascends across the throat, and converges with the large intestine channel
describe the branch of the lung divergent channel
a branch ascends from the lung, emerges at the supraclavicular fossa, ascends across the throat, and converges with the large intestine channel
where does the lung sinew channel originate
at the thumb at LU 11
what are the characteristics of the sinew channels
it binds and knots at the joints and spreads from the limbs towards the trunk
describe the lung sinew channel
from LU 11 it ascends to bind at the thenar eminence, it follows the radial pulse and ascends the flexor aspect of the forearm to bind at the center of the elbow, it continues along the antero-lateral aspect of the upper arm to enter the chest below the axilla, it emerges in the region of ST 12 and travels to the shoulder to LI 15, it returns to the supraclavicular region and descends into the chest, it SPREADS over the diaphragm and converges in the region of the floating ribs
according to 6 channel theory, the Lung is paired with what organ system
spleen
the interior pathway of the lung primary channel descends to the
large intestine organ
a branch of the lung primary channel separates from LU 7 to connect with
LI 1
the lung luo connecting channel connects with the
large intestine channel
