    Pathway

    begins at radial side of tip of index finger

    runs proximally along radial side of index finger & passes thru interspace b/w

    first & second metacarpal bones at LI 4

    reaches anatomical snuff-box where LI 5 is situated, continues along lateral

    aspect of forearm to lateral aspect of elbow at LI 11

    rises along lateral aspect of upper arm to shoulder joint at LI 15 crosses behind shoulder to depression b/w scapular spine & lateral extremity

    of clavicle (LI 16)

    travels in a medial direction, passing thru SI 12 (in centre of suprascapular

    fossa) to DU 14 (just below spinous process of C7) where it meets w/ other five

    yang channels of hand & foot

    from DU 14 it enters supraclavicular fossa in region of ST 12 & connects w/

    Lung before descending thru diaphragm to join w/ Large Intestine, continuing

    down onto leg to ST 37 (lower He-Sea pt. of Large Intestine)

    another branch ascends from supraclavicular fossa along lateral aspect of neck,

    passes thru cheek, & enters lower gums

    from gums, channel passes thru ST 4 (which branches to meet REN 24 in chin),

    curves around upper lip & crosses to opposite side of body at DU 26, at

    philtrum

    from DU 26, left channel travels to right & right channel travels to left to

    terminate either side of nose at LI 20, where the Large Intestine channel joins

    w/ Stomach channel

    - one branch travels posteriorly to the upper back where it meets Governing

    channel at DU14

    - another descends internally thru the diaphragm, linking w/ REN12 & REN13

    to enter ST & connect w/ SP

    descends alongside umbilicus to ST30 in inguinal region

    a further branch originates internally from the pyloric orifice of the ST, descends

    w/in the abdomen & meets w/ ST30

    from inguinal region at ST30 the channel travels laterally to ST31 on anterolateralaspect of thigh, descends along lateral margin of femur to patella & alongside

    lateral margin of tibia to dorsum of foot, terminating at lateral side of tip of 2nd

    SPLEEN MERIDIAN OF FOOT TAIYIN

    Pathway

    begins at medial side of tip of big toe at SP1, runs along medial aspect of

    foot, following the border where the skin changes color

    ascends in front of the medial malleolus at SP5, follows the posterior border

    of the tibia up medial aspect of the leg to a point 8 cun superior to the

    medial malleolus where it crosses (and then travels anterior to) the LV

    channel

    ascends along the medial aspect of the knee & the anteromedial aspect of

    the thigh to the lower abdomen where it forks

    a superficial branch intersects the Conception vessel at REN3, REN4 & REN10

    & ascends first at 4 cun lateral to the midline (REN meridian) then upon

    reaching the chest, the meridian becomes 6 cun lateral to the midline,

    passing thru GB24 & LV14 & ascends all the way up the chest to meet w/

    LU1, & descends to terminate in the 7th

    ICS on the mid-axillary line at SP21

    an internal branch (at the fork of the abdominal region) enters the body to

    meet w/ the SP then connects to the ST, its internally-externally related

    organ, ascends thru the diaphragm, runs alongside the esophagus & spreads

    over the lower surface of the tongue (note: KD meridian ends at ROOT of

    tongue) a further branch ascends from the ST, passes thru the diaphragm & flows

    directly to the HT

    Connecting zangfu: SP, ST, HT

    Crossing points:

    - LU 1

    - GB 24

    - REN 3, 4, 10, 17

    - LV 14

    External Symptoms

    Heaviness of body, general fever sensation, fatigued limbs, emaciatedmuscles, edema in foot or legs, stiffness of tongue, general cold sensation on

    medial aspect of leg along meridian pathway

    Internal Symptoms

    Abdominal pain, diarrhea, incomplete digestion, vomiting, intestinal noises,

    hard lumps in abdomen, reduced appetite, constipation
