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*
