Gallbladder Channel
What are the Interior/Exterior and 6 channel pairs of the GB channel?
Int/Ext - Liver Channel
6 Channel - San Jiao channel
What organs connect with the GB primary channel?
Liver and Gallbladder
GB primary channel pathway (Canthus to Sacrum)
Begins at outer canthus of the eye > travels to the infraorbital region>
crisscrosses the side of the head (connects w/ points on the SJ and ST
channel) > passes behind the ear and enters the ear > passes through the jaw
and throat > descends through the chest and connects with PC at PC1 >
passes anterior to the axilla > passes through the inguinal region > encircles
the genitals > moves to the sacrum and connects w/ DU1
GB primary channel pathway (Sacrum to toe)
From DU1 emerges at the buttock (GB30) > continues down the lateral aspect
of the thigh and knee > descends the lateral aspect of the lower leg to the
anterior aspect of the lateral malleolus > follows the dorsal surface of the foot
along the groove between the 4th and 5th metatarsals to the lateral side of the
4th toe
At what body structure does a primary branch emerge and enter the body?
Behind the ear and enters ear at SJ17
GB primary channel branch(2) pathway (supra clavicular fossa to hip)
Branch descends from the supraclavicular fossa > moves to anterior aspect of
the axilla and passes through GB22, 23 and 24 > intersects the LV channel at
LV13 > Descends to hip joint to meet branch 1 at GB30
What GB channels connect with the Liver?
Primary and Luo Connecting channels
, GB Luo connecting channel pathway
Separates from primary channel at GB37 > Connects with LV channel >
Descends and disperses over the dorsum of the foot
GB divergent channel pathway
Separates from primary channel on the thigh > enters the pubic hairline and
converges with the LV divergent channel > enters flank between the lower ribs
> connects with the Gallbladder and spreads upwards through the liver >
Crosses the heart and the esophagus > emerges at the lower jaw and
disperses into the face, connects with the eyes and rejoins the GB primary
channel at the outer canthus of the eye.
GB sinew channel pathway (4th toe to Branch3)
Begins at 4th toe and binds to lateral malleolus > ascends the lateral aspect of
the lower leg and binds at the lateral aspect of the knee > Branch1 begins at
upper portion of the fibula and ascends along lateral aspect of the thigh >
Branch2 runs anteriorly to bind above the knee at ST32 > Branch3 runs
posteriorly to bind at the sacrum
GB sinew channel pathway (vertical branch to vertex)
Vertical branch ascends across the ribs and travels anteriorly to the axilla >
links with the breast and then binding at ST12 > Branch4 ascends from axilla
and passes through ST12 > Ascends anterior to the UB channel passing
behind the ear and temple > continues to vertex and meets with bilateral
counterpart
GB sinew channel pathway (vertex to canthus)
Branch5 descends from temple across the cheek and binds at the side of the
nose > Branch6 binds at the outer canthus
What body structure does the GB divergent channel connect to?
Liver, Gallbladder, LV divergent channel, heart, eye
What are the Interior/Exterior and 6 channel pairs of the GB channel?
Int/Ext - Liver Channel
6 Channel - San Jiao channel
