Body Fluids Flashcards
Types of body fluids?
Jinye
Jin…..Moist /saliva of strong mobility
Ye……Thick/dense/turbid of week mobility
Body fluid metabolism of zang fu organs,
Lung?
Disperse and descend
Body fluid metabolism of zang fu organs,
Kidney?
Dominate water, evaporating and transforming qi
Body fluid metabolism of zang fu organs,
Spleen?
Transforms and transports
Body fluid metabolism of zang fu organs,
Small intestine?
Separates clear from turbid
Body fluid metabolism of zang fu organs,
Bladder?
Controls qi transformation and function
Body fluid metabolism of zang fu organs,
San jiao
Passageway for the distribution of body fluids
The bladder function of qi transformation is dependent upon and controlled by?
Kidney yang
Which organs are involved in the process of turning external fluid into body fluids?
SP/ST
SI/LI
LUNG
KIDNEY
What organ “regulates the water passage ways”
Lung
Kidneys relationship to body fluids?
Vaporize part of the fluid they receive from lung and
Send back up to lung to moisten them
Kidney yang relationship to the transformation of body fluids?
- Kidney’s provide essential heat to the spleen
- Kidney’s help SI to separate pure/impure
- Kidney’s provide qi to the bladder for qi transformation
- kidney’s help San Jiao transform and excrete fluids
Kidney yang relationship with SI’s function of separating fluids
Provides necessary heat for separation of clear and turbid to take place
Bladder transformation using kidney yang
Qi and heat needed to transform is provided by kidney yang
‘The triple burner is the official in charge of irrigation and it controls the water passages “
The upper Burner.. is compared to mist and…
Helps spleen to direct pure fluids upwards and helps lungs disperse pure fluids to space under the skin
‘The triple burner is the official in charge of irrigation and it controls the water passages “
The middle burner ….is compared to “muddy pool” and?
Helps the stomach to churn fluids, and directs impure part of fluid downwards.
‘The triple burner is the official in charge of irrigation and it controls the water passages “
The lower burner ……compared to “drainage ditch”
Helps the SI, bladder and kidney to transform, separate, and excrete fluids
The stomach is the “source” of body fluids
Fluids must first enter the stomach and from there they are transformed and transported to the spleen.
