1
Q

Pathway of PC channel

A

Originates from chest → enters PC → descends thru diaphragm to abdomen, connects 3 jiaos
Branch: runs inside chest, emerges from costal region at a point 3 cun below anterior axillary fold → ascends to axilla → follows medial aspect of upper arm → runs downward b/t LU and HT meridians to cubital fossa → runs between tendons m. palmaris longus and m. flexor carpi radialis → palm → tip of middle finger
2nd Branch: arises from pal at PC 8 → runs along ting finger to tip → links w SJ channel at SJ
