BL Meridian

A
  • 67 points
  • Runs from the head to caudolateral hindlimb digit
  • Yang (hollow)
  • BL channel splint into 2 at BL-10 and joins back up at BL-40

To know the number on the outter line you add 29 to the inner line number

Reminders: Dogs have 13 ribs, anticlinal vertebrae is T10-11
