31
the sea of blood is...
the chong
32
how is the limbic system related to Luos

(remember acronym HOME - homeostasis, olfactory, memory, emotion)
33
what are the primary and secondary pathogens in blood
heat - primary
| cold - secondary
34
full Luos
```
excess
the pathogen gets send out
you can see it
it bleeds or comes out
rebellious qi
sensory organs are effected ex: areas of discharge (mucus, tears, skin conditions...etc)
```
35
empty Luos
```
deeper
usually can't see it
have to probe or palpate
eventually goes into zang/fu or joints
can enter divergent level
may appear as cysts
```
36
what is the rule of laterality
pulse position gives primary channel
| luo channels are on the opposite side

what is the Luo sequence according to the Ling Shu
```
arm yin: tai yin, shao yin, jue yin
arm yang: tai yang, shao yang, yang ming
leg yang: tai yang, shao yang, yang ming
leg yin: tai yin, shao yin, jue yin
*this is the circulation of blood. the alternate sequence from the su wen is the sequence of the primary channels.
