Pathway Of The Lung Channel Of The Hand Taiyin

Front 1

Originates in the middle Jiao; in the region of the stomach

Back 1

Originates in the middle Jiao; in the region of the stomach; descends to connect to the LI;returns up to pass the cardiac orifice of the STand traverses the diaphragm, penetrates the lung,ascends to the throat, passes obliquely downwards towards to the Zhongfu LU1 where the channel emerges

Front 2

The LU primary channel connects with which zangfu?

Back 2

Stomach, Large Intestine and Lung

Front 3

Where does the Luo connecting channel separate?

Back 3

Lieque L7 - follows into the palm and spreads through the thenar eminence and connects with the LU interiorly exteriorly related LI intestine

Front 4

Describe the location and the path of the lung divergent channel?

Back 4

Diverges from the primary lung channel at the axilla and passes anterior to the heart in the chest, connects with the lung and disperses in the Large intestine, a branch ascends from the lung, emerges at the supraclavicular fossa, ascends the across the throat and converges with the Large intestine channel

Front 5

Describe the path of the of the lung sinew channel

Back 5

Originates at the thumb at shaoshang LU 11and ascends to bind at the thenar eminence, follows the radial pulse and ascends the flexor aspect of the forearm to bind at the center of the elbow, continues long the antero lateral aspect of the upper arm tp enter the chest below the axilla, emerges in the region of Quepen (ST12) and travels laterally to the shoulder, anterior to (LI 15) returns to the supraclavicular (Quepen ST12) region and descends into the chest, spreads over the diaphragm and converges in the region of the floating ribs.

Front 6

Describe the pathological symptoms of the Lung sinew channel?

Back 6

Cramping and pain along the course of the channel;when severe it can manifest as an accumulation of lumps below the right lateral costal region, tension along the lateral region and spitting of blood

Front 7

Name the 5 principal functions of the lung

Back 7

-governing Qi and controlling respiration,
-controlling, disseminating and descending
-regulating water passage
-controlling the skin and body hair
- opening into the nose

Front 8

Describe and summarize actions and indications that may be treated

Back 8

-Treating rebellion of lung qi manifesting of respiratory disorders such as coughing, wheezing, dyspnoea, sob
-restoring lung's disseminating fxn when it is impaired by and external pathogen factors that lodge in the body
-treating nasal disorders incl nosebleeds and nasal obstructions
-treating disorders of the throat such as dryness, soreness, congestion, swelling and pain
-treating oedema and obstructed urination caused by impairment of the lungs fxn of regulating water passages and controlling disseminating and descending
-and treating vomiting due to qi rebellion - opening up water passages
