| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Channels | channels and connecting vessels are the pathways that carry Qi,blood and fluids around the body.communication lines among all parts of organism.2 categories Major and Connecting/Lou,others Divergent,Tendino-muscle,Cutaneous |
| Major Channels | clearly defined pathways that penetrate deep into the body.regular channels 12, extraordinary channels 8 |
| Regular Channels | 12 channels,12 organs. bilaterally symmetrical.identified according to limb they flow and yin and yang.channels have directions.interior/exterior relationships.Diurnal Flow of Qi |
| Extraordinary Channels | 8,no organ assigned |
| Connecting/Luo Channels | vessels, branches of major channels. four types:connecting vessels 15,minute connecting vessels,superficial connecting vessels, blood connecting vessels |
| connecting vessels | Luo channel,15, 12 regular + 1(spleen has 2) + 2 extraordinary.large vessels which serve to connect yin and yang |
| minute connecting vessels | Luo channel,smaller and more widely distributed |
| superficial connecting vessels | Luos channel,web like,just beneath the skin, |
| divergent channels | 12,enhance communication between organs and channels and among channels themselves.channels branch from each of the 12 regular channels and enter deeply into the trunk to connect c various organs. |
| Tendino-muscle channels | Sinew channels,divide musculature into 12 regions, they do not enter the interior of the body.groups of mm,tendons, and ligs taht folow the paths of the 12 channels. |
| Cutaneous regions | divide the skin into 12 regions, each region is surface extension of an organ-channel system,served by superficial connecting vessels |
| Channels from superficial to Deep | Charlie Met Sally Last Prom at Dover Elementary=Cutaneous,Minute,Sinew,Luo,Primary,Divergent,Extraordinary |
| Yin Regular Primary Channels | run along the inner surface fo the limbs and across the chest and abdomen.associated with a yin organ. |
| Yang Regular Primary Channels | run along the outer surfaces of limbs and over the back and buttocks.associated with a bowel. |
| Regular Primary Channel Yin Direction | Three Yin channels of arms all start in the Chest and run outward to the hands.The three Yin channels of the leg all start at the toes and ascend to the chest to complete the cycle |
| Regular Primary Channel Yang Direction | The three Yang channels of the arms all start from the hands and ascend to the head and face.The three Yang channels of the leg all start from the head and face and descend to the feet. |
| Regular Primary Channel interior/exterior relationships | each yin channel joined to its corresponding yang channel,yin interior,yang exterior.l |
| Regular Channel Interior/exterior connecting | each channel connects with the Organ that stands in interior-exterior relationship with the organ it homes.each channel links a bowel(exterior) and a viscera(interior) and each yang channel connected to a yin channel, forming twofold link |
| diurnal flow of Qi in the regular channels | Cycle of Tides.begins at LU channel and ends at the last point of the LI channel.Lung is 3-5am=time of maximum Qi and Blood in the given channel.useful in Dx and Tx. |
| extraordinary vessels | 8,governing,conception,penetrating,girdling,yin linking,yang linking,yin motility, yang motility.named because they do not fit the pattern of the other major vessels. |
| which two extraordinary vessels have there own points | governing and conception |
| which two extraordinary vessels are part of Luo Connecting channels | governing and conception |
| penetrating vessel | menstral |
| girdling vessel | girdle |
| why extraordinary unique | neither have a continuous,interlinking pattern of circulation, nor are they each associated with specific major organ.they are reservoirs,filling and emptying according to the varying conditions in the major channels, exerting a regulating effect on them. |
| which extraordinary vessels share points | penetrating,girdling,yin linking,yang linking, yin motility, yang motility |
| Shared points | confluent points.additional interconnections among the 12 regualr channels.regulate the flow of Qi and blood in 12 regular channels.closely related to liver and kidney.directly related to uterus,brain and other extraordinary organs. |
| extraordinary vessels regulate Qi and Blood | surplus Qi and blood is taken up from the 12 regular channels and is released when Qi and Blood in the regular channels is deficient. |
| Connecting Luo Vessels subsystem | first is the fifteen connecting vessels that serve primarily to connect the yin/yang channel points.second consists of seried of small connecting vessels that help to distribute Qi and Blood over the entire body. |
| what do each of the 15 Luo Connecting vessels do | 1 from each 12 regular channels connets yin to yang.1 from conception vessel CV distribute Qi/blood to chest/abdomen.1 from governing vessel GV distributes Qi/ blood over the back.great connecting vessle Great Luo of Spleen distibute Qi/Blood over trunk. |
| Diseases of the Luo Channels | disease of yin/yang organ pairs or channels themselves are treated using connecting Luo points located on the regular channels that it homes to. |
| Yang channel divergences | in general rise to the neck region and rejoin their home channel |
| Yin channel divergences | connect to their paired yang bowel and do not rejoin their home channel.this allow yin energy to affect the head. |
| how are Divergent channels similar to connecting vessels | the both serve to connect the yin and yang pairs |
| how are divergent channels different from connecting vessels | both have no disorders associated withthem and not points marking their divergence from the home channel |
| how are tendino-sinew channels unique | no points associated with them, don't connect to internal organs,they all begin at the the 4 extremities.proceed up limbs, bind to joints,then disperse themselves over chest or back & terminate in the head or on trunk.some channels enter chest & abdomen. |
| Relationship between cutaneous regions and their channel systems in pathology | disease can enter and be expelled through the cutaneous regions.discoloration of the skin can be a diagnostic indication of disease in teh channel-organ system. |
| Points | a cavern or hole opening into the energy system.acupunture pints derive their function from their location,from the channel they belong to,from any special groupings they are part of,and from clinical observations. |
| where are points located | on superficial channels |
| acupuncture points | local points,regional domain,point groupings,function of points derived from clinical observation |
| local points | ex-eye point to treat eye disease |
| regional points | ex CV 17 to treat chest,ST 25 to treat stomach and intestines. |
| point groupings | pints that share certain features, ex command points,she points |
| special point groupings | groupings distinguished by particular treatment actions and special relationships with the channels and connecting vessels. |
| List Point groupings | Five Shu/Five elements,Lower He Sea,Xi Cleft,Yuan Source,Luo Connecting,Back Shu,Front Mu,Hui Meeting,Eight Extra Meridians,Command,Four Seas,Sky Window,Thirteen Ghost,Entry Exit |
| Yuan Source Points | point on the 12 regular channels where the source Qi resides, born with.used for diseases of the 5 viscera. |
