LV Primary
Originates at the lateral aspect of the dorsum of the big toe at LV1, runs to LV 4, 1 cun anterior to the medial malleolus, ascends along medial aspect of lower leg, intersects SP 6 then continues to ascend anterior to the SP channel to 8 cun above medial malleolus where it crosses and continues posterior to SP channel un the knee and medial aspect of thigh. Continues to pubic region at SP 12 and 13, encircles the genitals, ascends to enter lower abdomen where it intersects with CV2,3, 4. Continues up to curve around stomach before entering Liver and connecting with GB. Crosses diaphragm and spreads in costal and hypochondriac region. Ascends along neck to posterior aspect of throat and nasopharynx to link with tissues surrounding eyes. Ascend across forehead to vertex here it intersects with DU 20.
LV First Branch
Descends from eye system through cheek and encircles inner surface of lips.
LV Second Branch
Separates from Liver, crosses diaphragm and spreads in the Lung, meeting with PC 1.
LV Luo
Separates primary channel at LV 5 on medial aspect of lower leg, connects with GB channels, ascends to genitals.
LV Divergent
Separates primary channel on dorsum of foot, ascends to pubic region where it converges with GB primary channel.

GB Primary
Begins near the outer canthus at GB 1, crosses anterior portion of ear to GB 2 and ascends to upper border of zygomatic arch at GB3. Ascends to corner of forehead to GB 4-7 to region above the ear to meet SJ 22 and 20. Curves posteriorly across sides of head to corner of forehead at ST 8 and descends to supraorbital region at GB 14. Ascends and curves across the side of head to GB 20. Crosses top of shoulder to GB 21 and SJ 15 to meet at Du 14. Passes laterally to BL 11 and SI 12 then enters supraclavicular fossa at ST 12.
GB First Branch
Emerges behind eat at SJ 17, emerges in front of the ear and passes SI 19 and ST 7 to outer canthus. Descends to corner of Jaw near ST 5, crosses SJ channel to rise to infraorbital region and meets BL1. Descends to neck passing near ST6 and intersecting ST 9 to rejoin main channel at supraclavicular fossa. Descends into chest, meeting at PC 1, crosses diaphragm, connects with Liver and unites with GB. Continues along inside of ribs and emerges at inguinal region.
