Acu 2 Urinary Bladder Channel Flashcards
Bladder Channel
Foot Taiyang
Bladder is on duty
3pm-5pm
bladder primary meridian connects with which organs
bladder, kidney, eyes, ears, *brain, *anus
the bladder meridian treats what kind of disease
“tendon” disease
what is the longest meridian
the bladder meridian
Meridian illness
Headache, eye disease, facial paralysis, nasal bleeding, rhinitis, ear ringing, pain along the course of the meridian, flaccid or camping along the course of the legs, knee and ankle swelling and pain, difficulty in urination, nocturnal emission, mental disorders, insomnia, forgetfulness, palpitation, dreaming, sleep
Stuffy nose, nasal discharge, head and upper back pain is a sign of
Excessive qi in the BL luo collateral
clear nasal discharge and nasal bleeding is a sign of
deficiency qi in the bladder luo collateral
where does the bladder primary meridian begin
at the inner canthus of the eye at UB 1
describe the pathway of the bladder primary meridian
from the inner canthus it ascends the forehead and vertex connecting with GB 15, DU 24, and Du 20, from the vertex, a branch descends to the temples and connects with GB 7-12, from the vertex another branch enters the brain and meets the governing vessel at Du 17. it then emerges at the nape of the neck and splits into two major branches.
describe the first major branch of the bladder primary meridian
the first (medial) branch descends along the posterior aspect of the neck passing through Du 14 and Du 13, descends along the spine 1.5 cun lateral, connects with the kidneys and bladder, crosses the lumbar, sacrum, and buttocks to the popliteal fossa at UB 40
describe the second major branch of the bladder primary meridian
the second (lateral) branch separates at the nape of the neck, descends 3 cun lateral from the midline to the gluteal region, connects with GB 30, travels to the popliteal fossa to UB 40, then continues down the leg to UB 67 and finally meeting the kidney channel.
the bladder primary channel connects with which organs
the kidneys and bladder
describe the bladder luo-connecting channel
from UB 58 it connects with the Kidney channel
where does the bladder divergent channel begin
at the popliteal fossa
describe the bladder divergent channel
from the popliteal fossa, it ascends to *wind around the anus, connects with the bladder and kidneys, ascends the spine, disperses in the cardiac region, emerges at the neck to rejoin the bladder primary channel
describe bladder sinew channel
from the little toe it ascends up the body, it penetrates the root of the tongue, connects to LI 15 and GB 12, and connects to the nose and upper eyelid
Pathological symptoms of the bladder sinew channel
Strain of the little toe, pain and swelling of the heel, spasm of the popliteal region, opisthotonos, spasm and tension of the nape of the neck, inability to raise the shoulder, strain of the axilla, pain and strain of the supraclavicular fossa
according to six channel theory, the bladder is connected to
the small intestine
the bladder primary channel enters the
kidney organ
the bladder primary channel meets the kidney channel at
UB 67
the bladder divergent channel disperses in the
kidneys
the bladder luo-connecting channel connects with the
kidney channel
the bladder primary channel intersects the governing vessel at
DU 13, DU 14, Du 17 and DU 20
