Channel Pathways Flashcards
LU primary pathway
start @ middle portion of body cavity, down and internally connects w/ LI, goes up to diaphragm, enters LU, LUs and throat emerges under clavicle goes down arm passes over RADIAL ARTERY at wrist to radial side of tip of thumb.
-branch: just about the wrist to meet LI exit=LU7!
LI
entry pnt= LI4! start: tip of index finger
cross: SI12, DU14
branches: 1. enters body passses through LU, diaphragm and LI
branch: extends to neck, through cheek, enters LOWER TEETH AND GUMS ST4, curves upper lip and cross to other side of nose DU26.
ST
starts next to nose LI20, goes up to eyes BL1, to UPPER GUM, curves around LIPS, DU26, RN24, runs to front of ear, DU24, GB3,6,4
branch: lower jaw, enters body to diaphragm, ST, SP- RN13, 12
branch: leaves lower jaw, crosses neck, chest, and abdomen, and terminates in groin
runs front of thigh terminates lateral side of tip of second toe.
branch: lateral side of middle toe, short branch leaves from top of foot to SP meridian. exit= ST42
SP
start: SP1 medial side of big toe
up medial leg to abdominal cavity cross RN3, RN4, RN10, connects SP, ST, cross GB24, LV14, LU1 goes to throat ROOT OF TONGUE spread its qi and blood underneath
branch: enters HT
HT
3 branches all begin and end at HT
connects to SI, throat to EYE, LU, ends at medial tip of little finger
SI
tip of little finger, goes up arm to shoulder and upper back crossed w/ BL41, BL11, DU14
branch 1: connect w/ HT @ CV17, diaphragm and ST CV13, CV14, and SI
branch 2: along side neck and cheek outer corner of eye before entering EAR GB1, SJ22, another branch goes to BL1 on inner canthus
BL
BL1- inner side of the eye goes to VERTEX, DU24, GB15, DU20
branch: enters BRAIN- GB 7, 8, 10, 11, 12
main meridian: descend along back of head DU17 BIFURCATES at back of neck DU14, DU13
connects to KD, BL, crosses GB30
KD
starts at INFERIOR ASPECT OF SMALL TOE, passes through HEEL, crosses SP6, base of spine DU1, connects w/KD, BL, goes to abdomen over pubic bone RN3, RN4, connects to LV, diaphragm and LU, terminates at root of tongue, smaller branch joins HT and flows to chest to connect w/ PC meridian exit=KD22!
PC
PC BEGINS IN CHEST! connects w/ PC, branch to SJ, branch pathway across chest, down arm, etc.
SJ
start TW1, outside tip of ring finger, crosses SI12, DU14 in shoulder area and GB21 over shoulder and under breastbone
branch: passes through PC, penetrates diaphragm RN17, then to UJ, MJ, LJ
branch: ascends to shoulder and neck and reaches posterior border of ear and then interiorly circle face GB6,4,3
branch: to ear SI19, GB1
exit point: SJ22!
GB
starts at outer corner of eye
branch 1: weaves back and forth on lateral head before curving behind ear to top of shoulder, crosses: ST8, SJ22, SJ20, SI17, DU14, BL11, SI12
ear branch: SJ17, SI19, ST7 continues downward, in front of underarm to hip region
branch 2: traverses cheeck ST5, 6
Through to neck and to LV at LV13, and to GB goes to hip meets with BL31, 32, 33, 34
Terminates at 4th toe
branch leaves meridian to cross foot to big toe to meet LV meridian @ GB41
LV
begins at big toe, ascending in front of inner ankle/leg cross SP6, runs along medial aspect of leg SP13, SP12
encircles around GENITALIA- RN 2,3,4
in ascend internally to connect w/ LV, GB, and LU, the entire cycle of the median system begins anew here. Reconstituting itself the meridian flows to the throat. connects w/ eyes
branch to lip and to the VERTEX
