Yang Divergent Function

A
  1. separate from their primary on the limbs
  2. enter their related Fu & their paired Zang
  3. resurface at the supraclavicular fossa, neck or face and
    then rejoin their primary channel

24
Q

Luo Function

A

strengthen the connection between

25
Q

Sinew Channel Functions

A
  • circulate on the periphery of the body
  • do not penetrate the zang fu
  • are associated with and take their names
    from the 12 primary channels
  • all originate at the extremities and ascend to the head and trunk
  • broadly follow the course of the associated primary channels, but are wider
  • are more superficial and follow the lines of major mm and mm groups, tendons,
    ligaments, etc
26
Q

Minute Collateral function

A

“ . . . for the Qi and Blood to reach every part of the body, the larger channels and
collaterals need to branch into ever more minute channels . . . “

27
Q

Cutaneous Regions Function

A
  • skin regions overlaying the channels more so than channels themselves
  • provide the theoretical foundation for “invasion by exogenous pathogenic factors”
  • manifest disorders of the deep-lying channels
  • how our superficial tx have a deep effect
