Small Intestine Channel Flashcards
small intestine channel
hand tai yang
where does the small intestine channel originate
Originates on the ulnar side of the tip of the little finger at SI 1
at which point does it emerge at the styloid process of the ulna
SI 6
SI 8 is betwen
the olecranon of the ulna and the medial epicondyle of the humerus
the small intestine channel runs along the posterior aspect of the arm and intersects which point
LI 14
on the posterior side, the small intestine channel zig zags from
the inferior fossa to the superior fossa of the scapula, and then to the medial aspect of the scapular spine
on the posterior side, the small intestine channel crosses with
DU 14 (where all yang channels meat), UB 41, UB 11, ST12
after descending in the supraclavicular fossa at ST 12, the small intestine channel
connects with the heart
as the channel descends the esophagus, it intersects the
conception vessel at REN 17, REN 12, and REN 13
how does the small intestine channel terminate
it enters the ear at SI 19
the small intestine luo channel
Separates from the SI channel at SI 7*, connects with the heart channel, and ascends along the arm and connects with the shoulder at LI 14
the small intestine divergent channel
Separates from the primary channel at the shoulder, enters the axilla, crosses the heart and descends to the abdomen for the small intestine
the small intestine sinew channel
Originates on the dorsum of the little finger, binds at the wrist, ascends the ulnar aspect to bind at the elbow, ascends the arm, binds at the axilla, surrounds the scapula, ascends the neck and binds at the mastoid process, ascends to behind the ear, enters the ear, ascends to above the ear, then descends to bind at the mandible,ascends across the teeth and binds at the outer canthus, and ASCENDS TO BIND AT THE CORNER OF THE HEAD AT ST 8*
what channels does the small intestine channel cross with
UB, GB, SJ
what point does the channel diverge into 2
ST 12
at what point does the small intestine channel enter the ear
SI 19
what is the lowest crossing point of the small intestine channel
ST 39 - lower he sea of the small intestine
what ren points does the small intestine channel cross with
REN 17, REN 12, REN 13
the small intestine channel treats
Clears heat from the pathways of the channel and reduces fever
Assists in transforming phlegm and clearing heat from the heart organ, especially mania disorders
Cools heat and clears fire and alleviates pain along the course of the channel. SI points are particularly indicated for swelling
Treats disorders of the breast
which points treat disorders of the breast
SI 1, SI 2, SI 11
which points do you locate with a loose fist
SI 2, SI 3
small intestine jing well
SI 1
small intestine ying spring
SI 2
small intestine shu stream
SI 3
small intestine jing river
SI 5
small intestine he sea
SI 8
small intestine yuan source point
SI 4
small intestine luo point
SI 7
small intestine qi cleft point
SI 6
confluent/master point of the governing vessel
SI 3
SI 1 location
On the dorsal aspect of the little finger, at the junction of lines drawn along the ulnar border of the nail and the base of the nail, approximately 0.1 cun from the corner of the nail
SI 1 function
Clears heat and benefits the sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue), revives consciousness, promotes lactation, BENEFITS THE BREAST
SI 2 location
(while hand in loose fist): on the ulnar border of the little finger, in a depression just distal to the metacarpo-phalangeal joint
SI 2 function
Clears wind-heat, reduces swelling, benefits the eyes, ears, and throat, ACAP
