BL Meridian Flashcards
BL Meridian
- 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

*Right behind T4
**BL41 is 5 cun lateral to BL-12
Fx: Influential pt for wind-trachea, wind-heat, skin itching, cervical stiffness, cough
BL-13 CA
BL-13
CA: 1.5 cun lateral to the caudal border of the dorsal spinous process of the 3nd thoracic vertebrae
