Pathway of the heart channel

A

emerges from the blood vessels surrounding the heart and DESCENDS through the diaphragm to connect with the SMALL INTESTINE. ASCENDS along the esophagus to the tissues surrounding the EYE. Another branch travels to the LUNGS and then emerges at the axilla at HT 1. It travels through the arm/palm to end at HT 9
