Urinary Bladder Channel Flashcards
urinary bladder
foot tai yang
where does the bladder channel originate
UB 1 at the inner canthus of the eye
the UB channel ascends along the forehead to the vortex and meets with what channels
GB and Du
from the vortex, the UB channel goes to which tissue
the ear, the brain
where does the UB channel enter the brain

where does the UB channel split off into two branches
UB 10
where does the first medial branch of the UB channel go
posterior aspect of neck, intersects with the DU channel, descends along the spine 1.5 cun lateral to the midline. Connects with the kidneys and bladder in the lumbar region, descends along the sacrum and buttocks to the popliteal fossa of the knee at UB 40
where does the second medial branch of the UB channel go
it separates at the nape of the neck (UB10) an descends to the medial border of the scapula and descends 3 cun lateral to the midline.

separates at UB 58 and connects with the KD channel
the bladder divergent channel
Diverges from the primary channel at the popliteal fossa and ascends to 0.5 cun inferior to the sacrum, WINDS AROUND THE ANUS, connecting with the bladder and dispersing in the kidneys.
Ascends along the spine and DISPERSES IN THE HEART, emerges at the neck to rejoin the bladder primary channel
the bladder sinew channel
separates on the back and ascends to the medial side of the posterior axillary crease, then binds at LI 15. another branch crosses beneath the axilla
