conditions
conditions of HT, chest, mental disorders and disease of areas the meridian supplies
Signs and symptoms
dry mouth and throat, thirst, wanting to drink, sore eyes
pathway
- originates at HT
- spreads over HT then goes to diaphragm to connect to SI then runs back along throat and connects to eyes
- external branch emerges at middle of axilla
- travels down medial side of upper arm to ulnar end of cubital crease
- continues down forearm along radial side of flexor carpi ulnaris to pisiform region proximal to palm then passes through palm
- terminates at end of radial side of little finger
Luo connecting meridian
longitudinal - follows primary meridian to HT then ascends to tongue and finally to eyes
transverse - luo pt of HT meridian HT 5 to yuan pt of SI meridian SI4
divergent merdian
From HT 1 in middle of axilla to GB22 and to HT, throat, face (at SI18) and terminates at inner canthus of eye at BL 1.
confluence pt at Jingming (BL1)
muscle region
starts at medial side of small finger, knots at pisiform bone, travels along medial hand upwards
crosses hand tai-yin-M at breast and knots in chest before descending to umbilicus
