Acu 2 Small Intestine Channel Flashcards
Small Intestine Channel
Hand Taiyang
SI channel begins
at the ulnar side of the tip of the little finger at SI 1
describe the SI primary channel
From the ulnar side of the little finger it ascends up the arm, connects to LI 14, *zig zags from the inferior fossa to the superior fossa, connects to Du 14, UB41, and UB11. Crosses over to ST 12 and connects with the *heart organ. Descends to Ren 17, passes through the diaphragm to the stomach. Intersects Ren 13 and Ren 12 before entering the small intestine organ.
describe the first branch of the SI primary channel
the branch ascends from the supraclavicular fossa to cross the neck and cheek to the outer canthus of the eye to meet GB 1. It then travels around the ear connecting with GB 11, SJ 20 and SJ 22 before entering the ear at SI 19.
describe the second branch of the SI primary channel
the second branch separates from the first branch at the cheek and ascends to the lateral aspect of the nose and the inner canthus where it meets UB 1
describe the third branch of the SI primary channel
a branch descends from the small intestine organ to ST 39, the lower he sea of the Small Intestine
what organs does the small intestine primary channel connect with
Heart, Stomach, Small Intestine
where does the small intestine luo connecting channel begin
at SI 7
describe the small intestine luo connecting channel
from SI 7 it connects with the heart channel and ascends the arm to connect with the shoulder at LI 15
where does the small intestine sinew channel begin
at the dorsum of the little finger
describe the small intestine sinew channel
from the little finger it binds all the way up to the shoulder, surrounds the upper scapula and connects to the bladder sinew channel. Binds at the mastoid process and enters the ear, ascends to the forehead to connect with ST 8
Pathological symptoms of the small intestine sinew channel
strained little finger, pain along the medial aspect of the elbow and upper arm, pain below the axilla and on the posterior aspect of the axilla, pain of the scapula that reaches the neck, tinnitus, pain of the ear that may reach the submandicular region, a need to close the eyes for a long period of time before being able to see clearly, tension in the neck sinews that leads to sinew atrophy and swelling of the neck
