Where does the LU channel originate
the middle jiao
What is the pathway of the lung
Starts at middle jiao-> LI -> returns upward to pass through cardiac orifice of the stomach -> diaphragm -> penetrates LU -> throat -> antero-medial aspect of the arm -> styloid process of the radius (LU7) branches off to the radial side of thumb and radial side of tip of index finger
What is the function of the LU
