The Channel Colin Chan THE SMALL INTESTINE CHANNEL OF HAND-TAIYANG PART 1 The Small Intestine Channel of Hand-TaiYang General Information of the Small Instestine (TCM) 1. It is located in the abdomen, connected with the stomach at the pylorus in the upper and the large intestine at the ileocecal junction at the lower abdomen. Physiological functions of the Small Intestine (TCM) 1. To receive the chyle. 2. To separate lucid from turbid. Relationship of the Small Intestine to other organs (TCM) 1. Internal-External related with the Heart. Copy right: Colin Chan The Small Intestine Channel of Hand-TaiYang Route Surface pathway 4 The Small Intestine channel starts from the tip of the little finger, runs upwards along the ulnar side of the hand, along junction of the red and white skin and reaches the wrist. It continues from the styloid process of the ulnar, ascends upward along the posterior border of the ulnar aspect of the forearm. 3 It passes between the olecranon of the ulnar and the medial epicondyle of the humerus and climbs along the posterior border of the lateral aspect of the upper arm to the shoulder join. 2 1 Copy right: Colin Chan The Small Intestine Channel of Hand-TaiYang Route 5 4 It continues to zig-zag along the scapula region, reaches the superior aspect of the shoulder and turns anteriorly downwards to the SC fossa; enters the thoracic cavity and connects with the heart. It continues to descend along the esophagus, through the diaphragm, reaches the stomach and enters the Small Intestine where it pertains. 6 7 Copy right: Colin Chan Route-Branch 10 11 9 8 A branch arises from the SC fossa, moves upwards along the neck to the cheek, reaches the outer canthus and goes into the ear.
